Guillaume le Blond’s 18th-century military handbooks are some of the most desirable books of their kind! Le Blond, a French mathematician and military expert, published books on fortifications, artillery, military camp design, and battle tactics.

 

His book “Elements of Tactics” is a survey of the history and development of troop formation and battle tactics. He describes the positioning of infantry and cavalry, as well as the principal orders that officers give. It also includes a section on castrametation, or the establishment of rules at base camp.

 

These dozens of full-page and folding illustrations found in this 1758 first edition make it an absolute treasure. Few works have such impressive views, especially with regard to military formation and battle tactics.
