Book Description
Excerpt from Colburn's United Service Magazine, and Naval and Military Journal, 1863, Vol. 3 Field-marshal Lord Clyde is dead, at the comparatively early age of seventy-one, which he would have reached had he lived till the 20th of October next, as he was born on that day in the year 17 92. When a man like Colin Campbell is taken to his rest in his seventy-first year, though we, his survivors, must be grate ful to Providence for having allowed him to live so long, yet we cannot admit, as we see most of our contemporaries have done, that he had attained the full term of human life for though many men at three score and ten are feeble and no longer able to be serviceable to their country, of use to their family, or a com fort to themselves, we know others, on the contrary, who are, like him, for all purposes, as young at that age as they were at fifty, and unless prematurely cut short by accident, their lives may extend to four score before they can be said to fall into that second childishness and mere oblivion, which do too frequently characterize that advanced period of life. Nevertheless, there are not wanting examples, such as Ziethen, Radelzky, Suwarrow and others, to say nothing of the late Duke of Wellington, who either gained great victories, conducted brilliant campaigns, or were considered as Nes tors in the senate at even eighty years of age. Therefore, it is that we do repine and grieve at the misfortune which has deprived us of the semces which such a man as Lord Clyde might, in case of necessity, have yet rendered to the fatherland. However, we must submit to the decrees of Providence, and while we are thank ful that there was such a man to finish the Indian mutiny, in the heavy time of need, let us pray that an emergency of equal impor tance may not again arise without another Colin Campbell to meet it.

Book Description
Excerpt from Colburn's United Service Magazine, and Naval and Military Journal, 1853, Vol. 2 In 1847, some casual event, of so little note that not one in a thousand could now describe it, turned attention to our military con dition, when the most competent authorities pronounced us to be so totally unprepared, in comparison with the constant power of aggression posseaed by France, that, in case of hostilities, our very national existence would be in a state of imminent danger. The economists, however, snouted any idea of providing a remedy for this hazardous condition; not on the question of fact; u this they ventured very Blightly to touch; but upon the argument that the Franc neither had, nor (by implication, to make the reasoning sound) ever could have, any inclination or interest for to war; and that Pmutionary measures would require a considerable expenditure, Which it was not worth incurring to avoid the trifling risk of having a French army in possession of London.

Book Description
Excerpt from Colburn's United Service Magazine, and Naval and Military Journal, 1856, Vol. 2 The practice with us heretofore has been - thanks to the Germans and French - to spend a great deal of time in copying examples in pen-work, pencil-work, and brush-war - the method known as comb-work, and one of the greatest absurdities ever introduced from the continent, being ignored by the present generation, - while but little time has been given to the practical work of making sketches and plans in the field. Now, with all due deference to the skilful handlers of pen, pencil, and brush, we would reverse the thing, and occupy most of the pupils' time actually in the field in making original plans and sketches and if our pupils succeeded in making them correct, we mould not be very fastidious as to neatness and beauty of execution, our chief and indeed only object being utility.

Book Description
Excerpt from Colburn's United Service Magazine and Naval and Military Journal, 1844, Vol. 2 The French have, as yet, supplied us with no account upon which we dare to rely, as containing a correct representation of the occurrences of the campaign': finding they could not expect to regain, by their clever pens, the glory that we wrested from them with the sword, their military writers in general deemed it prudent to main silent, and leave the case in the hands of the compilers of such works as Les Victoires et Conquétes des Francais, and Vingt années de gloire oontre un seul rovers. Napoleon, however, tried his hand in manufac turing a Campagne de which ought, properly, in imitation of the German tale, to have been entitled, The Story without an end since, although, it proceeded very satisfactorily - like the reality through the operations of the 15th, l6th, 17th, and part of the 18th June, yet its conclusion sorely puzzled him. The General, to whom he dictated it, told me at St. Helena, that the Campagne Superbe of his master being unfinished, he had himself submitted to the ex-emperor, no less than six difi'erent modes of accounting for the unexpected and extraordinary termination of the battle of Waterloo, but each was rejected in succession!
