註釋

"This study has been deliberately restricted to an examination of the tactical organisation and handling of the European 'teeth arms' of the late seventeenth and the first half of the eighteenth centuries. That is to say, its four main sections deal with the Horse, the Foot, the Trains of Artillery, and the Engineer Services of the period, describing their representation, organization, equipment, training and tactical employment. The treatment is not restricted to the examination of a single army alone: most attention is devoted to the English and French forces, which serve as controls, but comparisons are drawn with Dutch, Swedish, Prussian, Austrian, Russian and Turkish practices on a more limited scale to demonstrate regional differences and peculiarities. Thus it is hoped that something of an overview of European military practice at the tactical level will emerge"--Introduction.
