Excerpt from Treatise on the Administration and Organization of the British Army: With Especial References to Finance and Supply Ours is, perhaps, the only Army in Europe which does not possess at least one work of recognized authority on the science of Military Administration. France has its Odier, Andoin, Vauchelle, and others to attest how highly this subject is appreciated and how thoroughly its details have been studied in that country. Austria and Prussia, Sardinia, Belgium, and even Spain, have contributed works more or less valuable to this important branch of Military literature. England alone has remained silent and indifferent upon a subject in which the efficiency of the army, the happiness of the soldier, and the economy of the public resources are alike involved, and the student of the art of war, when he has exhausted the theory of strategy, tactics, fortification, and gunnery, looks in vain upon the shelves of our military libraries for a solitary volume descriptive of the mechanism by means of which those sciences are reduced to practice, and the various units which compose an army maintained in cohesion and moved into united action.
