Excerpt from The Military Opinions of General Sir John Fox Burgoyne, Vol. 1Several of the notes in the Third Part of the Work were written during the Peninsular War, but as those which I have selected for publication are general in their character, they are applicable to all periods. They consist, in fact, of principles, and not of rules, and may, therefore be considered as immutable. I should mention, as regards these Penin sular notes, that they were consulted by Sir John Jones and Sir Charles Pasley, before the publication of their respective works, and that this will account for any coincidence in language or treatment of subjects which may be found with those writers.Many other papers might have been added to the col lection, but they were chie¿y on specific subjects, and more or less of a confidential character, and it has been a leading object with me, to insert nothing that was not general in its application and purport.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
