STUDIES IN THE NEW INFANTRY TACTICS. Parts I. & II. By Major W. Von Schereff. Translated from the German by Col. Lumley Graham. Price 7s. 6d. "Major Von Schereff's 'Studies in Tactics' is worthy of the perusal-indeed, of the thoughtful study of every military man. The subject of the respective advantages of attack and defence, and of the methods in which each form of battle should be carried out under the fire of modern arms, is exhaustively and admirably treated; indeed, we cannot but consider it to be decidedly superior to any work which has hitherto appeared in English upon this all-important subject."Standard.

"Major Boguslawski's tactical deductions from the war are, that infantry still preserve their superiority over cavalry, that open order must henceforth be the main principles of all drill, and that the chassepot is the best of all small arms for precision. We must, without delay, impress brain and forethought into the British Service; and we cannot commence the good work too soon, or better, than by placing the two books (The Operations of the German Armies' and 'Tactical Deductions') we have here criticised, in every military library, and introducing them as class-books in every tactical school."United Service Gazette.

The work is one of high merit."-United Service Gazette. "The work of translation has been well done. In notes, prefaces, and introductions, much additional information has been given."-Athenæum. "The work of Major von Blume in its English dress forms the most valuable addition to our stock of works upon the war that our press has put forth. Major Blume writes with a clear conciseness much wanting in many of his country's historians. Our space forbids our doing more than commending it earnestly as the most authentic and instructive narrative of the second section of the war that has yet appeared."-Saturday Review.

"In seven short chapters it gives plain directions for forming shelter - trenches, with the best method of carrying the necessary tools, and it offers practical illustrations of the use of hasty intrenchments on the field of battle."-United Service Magazine. "It supplies that which our own text books give but imperfectly, viz., hints as to how a position can best be strengthened by means... of such extemporised intrenchments and batteries as can be thrown up by infantry in the space of four or five hours deserves to become a standard military work."-Standard. ...
