The paper by Captain A. C. T. Boileau, It.A., on the “ United States Military 
Academy at West Point,” published in No. 12, Yol. XIX., of “ Proceedings,” 
attracted much appreciative interest in America and Canada. Among others 1st 
Lieut. E. W. Hubbard, 3rd Artillery, U.S.A., writes to point out a few minor 
errors of detail that a stranger must find it hard to avoid. 
He shows how the Ordnance differs from the Artillery; of what the garrison 
of West Point consists ; who the “ Commandant of Cadets ” may be; and how 
the professorships are the only permanent posts of the Military Academy. He 
concludes a very kind letter to the author, with remarks on points connected 
with the cadets’ games, messing, and dress.

and Commission Registers, edited by C. Dalton, F.R.G.S., has appeared. The 
Introduction of 24 pages describes most clearly how James II. formed his army, 
while the author’s annotations briefly refer to any point of interest in the history 
of the man whose name is recorded. The work is most complete, and it is to be 
hoped that the Author will again receive sufficient encouragement to lead him 
to publish another volume.
