Excerpt
Excerpt: SIRE, YOUR IMPERIAL MAJESTY, in his just solicitude for all that can contribute to the progress and the propagation of the sciences, deigned to order the translation into the Russian language of my TREATISE UPON GRAND MILITARY OPERATIONS, for the institutes of the crown. Eager to respond to the benevolent views of YOUR MAJESTY, believed it my duty to augment this work by an ANALYTICAL COMPEND, which would serve as a compliment [sic] to it. This first essay, published in 1830, accomplished the object for which it had been written; but I have since thought that by enlarging somewhat its frame, it would be possible to render it more useful and to make of it a work complete in itself; I trust I have obtained that result.
