the art of war he has long been the recognised authority, and his "Clery
on Tactics," has passed through several editions, and become a text-book
in Germany, Russia, America, and Italy. In addition to this work, his
influence has made itself felt at the War Office on behalf of the British
soldier, to whom he has always been a sincere and practical friend. He is
popular in all ranks of society, save perhaps with the Cadets at
examination times!
