"Good order and subordination, so useful in all places, are no
"where so necessary as in an army. The government should precisely
"determine the functions, duties, and rights, of all military men-
"soldiers, officers, chiefs of corps, generals.—The Swiss were the first
"modern nation who restored military discipline to its ancient vigour.
"It was this, joined to the valour of a free people, which produced,
"in the infancy of that republic, those brilliant exploits which aston-
"ished all Europe."-Vattel.

"Good order and discipline render an army a walking battery-a
"moving fortress."-Frederick the Great.

"In respect to details, it ought to be acknowledged, that there are
"many of them which are generally known, and which, at first sight,
65 'may appear trivial. But ought they, on this account, to be suppress-
"ed? Certainly not; since they are liable to be daily forgotten or
"neglected."-Thiébault.
