To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Victories were not followed up.
Eattlcs became less decisive, and dropped into disuse.
Digitized by LjOOQ IC 110 GBEAT CAPTAINS.
Strategy had not jet grown to be the science to which Gastavns Adolphus, Frederick, and Napoleon elevated it, and generals had not learned so to manoeuvre as to make battles decisive when won. Modem war, up to the days of Gustavus, was dumsj and lacking in general scheme. It was rescued from this condition hj the Swedish king.
In antiquity, battle was the head and fro...nt of all things, and armies were nimble and independent. In the seventeenth century, on the contrary, the construc- tion and preservation of fortresses and depots, and com- munications with these, and operations against the enemy's fortresses, depots, and communications became the chief study. This marked difference in system is shown in the military literature of these periods. Any operations which lay outside of battle, the ancients ascribed to the genius of the general, assumed that these were subject to no method and could not be learned; or at best classed them with mere stratagems.
