This manual on the organisation and use of cavalry, quartermasters, officers, trumpeters, scouts, spies and fighting men of all grades was first published in 1632 and was the only English-language text of its kind in existence during the English civil war. As such, it was used by both the Royalists and the Parliamentarians. The book still resonates today, both because of its historical importance and because four centuries later it still contains a wealth of solid tactical and organisational advice. Topics addressed in the book include: The levying of men, their marching, camping and embatteling, the election of officers, distribution of booty, of exercising the lance, the harquebusier and carabine, ordering of scouts and patrols, securing the quarters, foraging and dealing with spies.
