Military Dictionary: Comprising Technical Definitions; Information on Raising and Keeping Troops; Actual Service, Including Makeshifts and Improved ... Relating to Land Forces (Classic Reprint)

In legal articles, plain decisions from constitutional exponents of law have been accepted as conclusive; but when without such a guide, an endeavor has been made to set forth the true intent and meaning of laws in dispute, by simple, clear, and logical annotations. Much interesting law matter has been abridged from Prendergast s Law relating to officers of the army; and in respect to courts-martial, actual service, improved materiel c., c., the author is indebted to many standard authorities, sometimes only designated by name in different articles ;but, in such cases, referred to fully by the titles of their works in the list of abbreviations which follows this preface. It is only deemed necessary to add, that the work was not prepared in view of existing disturbances, but was begun some years ago, and that the few additions made since it was put in the hands of the publisher in January last, refer only to improvements in materiel.
