Note 7 — Chapter III · THE ADVANCEMENT OF LEARNING
Reading edition
The précis given in the text needs only the alteration of two words to bring it perfectly up to date. For "a mile" substitute "two miles," and for a "line two deep" substitute "line in single rank"="line of skirmishers." For a recent and interesting but heterodox discussion of tactical questions the reader may be referred to Ein Sommernachtstraum (Midsummer Night's Dream), which is by a well-known officer, long a member of the general staff.
