Contents. The " Soldiers Accidence ", treating of the handling of companies
and squadrons, was written as an introdudlion to the present book,
which treats of the movements of large forces, opening with a chapter on
the ancient evolutions of Infantry and Cavalry as given by NXxzn.

had now devolved on the Mounted Harquebussiers, and when on this duty,
each man seems to have ailed independently, or, in the words of the author,

in rank or file, nor any certainty in pace or motion, yet do they troop most
commonly in regiments."
A copy of the 2nd ed. (London, 1639, 4") was sold at the Heber sale for gj.
