Dediés a Messieurs les Officiers Generaux.</i></b><i> Par Mr. de Bonneville Capitaine Ingenieur de Campagne de Sa Maheste le Roi de Prusse.</i><br /><i><br /></i>Illustrated with 40 full-page and folding plates and 42 engraved vignettes. Folio. Bound in full mid-18th century English paneled calf expertly rebacked with raised bands and morocco spine label. A La Haye Chez Pierre Gosse Junior . . . 1756. First Edition.<p>Maurice Comte de Saxe was the greatest French military general of the 18th century. Having been born as the illegitimate son of Augustus II King of Poland he eventually rose to become Marshall of France. His greatest exploits came during the War of the Austrian Succession where he seized Prague by surprise in a daring invasion captured the fortress of Eger Cheb and gained his famous victory at Fontenoy. The latter made possible the 1745 Jacobite rising and was credited by Napoleon with preserving the <i>Ancien Regime</i> in France for a further 30 years.</p><p>Saxe's <i>Reveries</i> is one of the great classics of 18th century military strategy and theory. "He puts forward his ideal military model his 'legion' and taking issue with the views and practices of his age he advances many original ideas. However rather than discussing his military doctrines the aim of this book is to elucidate the intellectual premises that dominated his mind: he saw a need to subject military affairs to reasoned criticism and intellectual treatment and the ensuing military doctrines were perceived as forming a definitive system." Gat <i>Origins of Military Thought</i>.</p>With the bookplate of the United Service Institution presented by Major General Samuel Lambert. Samuel Lambert served with distinction in the campaign under Sir John Moore in 1808-09 and in the expedition to Walcheren in the later year. He was engaged in the defense of Cadiz in 1810 - 1811 and served throughout the peninsular campaigns of 1812 1813 and 1814. He died in 1848 while serving as Commander of Her Majesty's Forces in Jamaica. Minor wear to binding at edges and corners; o/w a fine wide-margined copy.

The Comte de Saxe reviews all the factors and elements required for the successful conduct of battle from uniforms and provisions to strategy in a style that is simple clear and intelligible. This is followed by a chapter on the propagation of the human race intended to counterbalance the art of destroying populations; here the author offers his reflections on demographic growth and the means of fostering it. The term ""rêveries"" refers not in the modern sense of idle fancies but in that of fulfilled hopes and secret thoughts. Chez Pierre Gosse Junior hardcover
