(c.) On the Campaign of the first German Army in the North of France, 
from the advance of the Army to the Somme, 16th November, 1870. 
Only the period from the 1st January, 1871, need be studied in 
detail. Questions on the previous part of the Campaign will be 
confined to the main incidents, the principal movements, and 
their object. 
Sketch Maps of the Theatre of War and of the Battlefield of St. 
Quentin will be supplied at the examination to the candidates. 
The Campaign is narrated in the under-mentioned sections of Major 
Clarke’s authorised translation of the Franco-German War, 
1870-1, Sec. XIV., price 4/-; Sec. XV., price 2/6 ; Sec. XVII., 
price 3/-. The analytical index (price 1/6) to the translation, 
compiled by Colonel Lonsdale Hale, will be found useful. 
COURSE OF MILITARY HISTORY-STAFF COLLEGE, 1893. 
I. Before taking up Hamley’s Operations of War (which assumes con¬ 
siderable knowledge on the part of the Student), a general sketch 
of European Military History should be read. Either of the following 
woidd be found sufficient :— 
( a .) “ Modern Military History,” by Hr. Maguire. 
(b.) The Campaigns of 1796-1806, and 1813-15, as described in 
the “ Epitome of Alison’s History of Europe.” 
(c.) A Century of Continental History, 1780-1880, by J. H. 
Bose, with 3 maps, and 5 plans of battles in the text. 
II. A good general Map is The Basins of the Biiine and Danube, with 
coloured Contours, Forts, &c., &c. 
An excellent small Military Atlas is the Cartes Croquis, used at St. 
Cyr. 
Niox’s Geographie Militaire. 
Marga’s Geographie Militaire. 
III. For a general knowledge of the Operations in France after Sedan, a 
good Summary will be found in The Proceedings of the Boyal 
Artillery Institution, No. 10, Vol. 18. 
In the absence of larger works, it will be most useful to read :—“ The 
Theatre of War of the Bhine and Danube.” “ Germany,” 
by S. Baring Gould. “ France,” by M. Boberts. 
The Sections of the translation of the official account of the Franco- 
German War, mentioned in the G.O. 
Map of the Natural Features of France and Germany, between 
Paris and Berlin. A useful map for the study of the Franco-German 
Campaign, 1870-71. 
INDIA. 
Although the General Orders announcing the result of the shooting for the 
annual prize given by the Inspector-General of Artillery in India were published 
in June, 1892, it is perhaps not too late to call attention to the wonderful ad¬ 
vance of the shooting, 1891-92 (called 1892) on that of previous years, and to 
compare it in a few points with that of 1890-91 (called 1891).
