Excerpt from Military Schools and Courses of Instruction in the Science and Art of War: In France, Prussia, Austria, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, Sardinia, England, and the United States The first edition of Military Schools in France and Prussia was issued in 1862, as a number of the American Journal of Education; and subsequently in the same year this portion was printed as Part I. Of a comprehensive survey of the whole field of Instruction in the Science and Art of War in different countries. The circum stances under which the publication was begun, are set forth in the Preface to the imperfect edition of 1862. Now that the survey in the serial chapters of the Journal is as complete as the material at the command of the Editor, and the space which he can give to this special subject enable him to make it, the several chapters have been revised and brought together in a single volume, to present the actual condition of this important department of national educa tion in the principal states of Europe, as well as in our own country.
