By the Officers of the regiment, named by the Colonel,
independently of those appointed by the regulations
At the end of each course the colonel of the regiment causes a general
examination to be made in his presence of the whole of the men who have
followed this course, and has a list made out in the order of merit,
with notes of the capacity and aptitude of each.
These lists are consulted in the formation of tables of promotion, and
placed with the said tables before the inspector-general.
Each captain and lieutenant are obliged to give in at least a single
treatise on five different projects, consisting of a memoir discussing
or the journal of a siege, with drawing of the whole, and of details in
sufficient number to render them perfectly intelligible.
The _special practical_ instruction is composed of seven distinct
schools, relating to:--
Field Fortification. Saps. Mines and Fireworks. Bridges. Ovens.
Topography. Gymnastics.
And they comprehend, in addition, sham sieges, and underground war. Each
of these seven schools is taught in accordance with the special
instructions annexed to the regulation, which, however, are not
published.
