consistent with accuracy), that concise and popular character which he
believes in no small degree contributed to the favourable reception of
the first edition.

An Introduction has also been added, discussing the origin of the Laws
of War generally, and the utility of the work has been enhanced by an
Index for facilitating reference.

In a Second Part, which will shortly appear, the Author proposes to
treat of the Laws of War relating to the Army, Navy, and the Militia,
as well as the administration of the bodies governing those various
sections of the war force of the country.
