The Soldier's Pocket - Book, by Colonel G. I. Wolseley (Macmillan), is

meant as a guide to the practical business of a campaign. It gives hints about commissariat, transport, encampment, care of -the sick, movement of troops, in fact about countless details of which we do not profess to have any special knowledge, which those only who have had actual experience of warfare could give or are capable of criticizing. All that we can say is that the book appears to such inspection as we have been able to give very complete, and that it has a very convenient and seviceable look.—We may mention, at the same time, Outpost Duty, translated by Major-General W. Napier from the French of General Jerry. (Chapman and Hall.) General Jarry served under Frederick the Great, and was afterwards at the head of an English military college.
