Contents. SutclifFe, who was a Dodtor of Divinity and a Judge Marshal,
was, in his own times, much esteemed for his character and writings. This
work, which was well known both at home and abroad, urges the importance
of military studies. In our time. Colonel von Gizycki and General Maurice
have been amongst the foremost in pointing out the necessity of this sort
of reading. Sutcliffe's examples and precepts are drawn chiefly from the ^ (^^
'
ancients. He had not much regard for modern soldiers and their writings,
and he is one of those who accuse Macchiavelli of presumption in writing of
matters of which he had never had experience. Like Digges, he has much
to say concerning the evil system of recruiting then in force.
