NOTES 
FROM 
CORRESPONDING MEMBERS. 
The subject for the Duncan Gold Medal Prize Essay, 1893, is “ The Attack of 
a Coast Fortress.” 
Attention is called to the Rules for Prize Essays printed at the end of the Rules 
R.A.I., and Officers are asked to be careful in posting their Essay intended for 
competition in time to reach the Secretary on or before the 1st of April. 
Any member who wishes can receive, at the cost of stitching and binding, about 
3s., a copy of the “ Cleaveland Notes on the Early History of the Royal Regiment 
of Artillery. A.D. 1267—1757.” 
In order to bring the already existing printed Records of the R. M. Academy up 
to date, it has been found that there will be a much larger amount of-letter-press 
to be added than was at first anticipated. In consequence of this it has become 
necessary to raise the estimated price per copy from 12s. 6d. to 15s. 
Any Officer who may wish for a copy is requested to send his name and address 
to the Secretary, R.M.A., Woolwich. 
Copies of examination papers in subjects (c), ( d ), and (e) are on sale at the 
R.A.I. The last sets comprise questions set in four examinations ending May, 
1891. Price, Lieutenants (c), ( d ), and (e), Is.; Captains, (c) and ( d ), 9d. 
The Committee will be glad to receive from any Member the name of such books 
as he may think desirable for purchase for the R.A.I. Library. 
The following works are now on sale at the R.A. Institution and will be for¬ 
warded post free at the prices noted after their titles below :—

how to write orders.” Every officer going up for examination in Tactics should 
study this admirable little volume.
