Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reveries, or Memoirs Concerning the Art of War: To Which Is Annexed His Treatise Concerning Legions All other fciences are founded upon fixed principles and rules*, but war alone is dciti tute of thefe. The celebrated captains who have wrote upon the fubjeet, are fo far from giving us any thing fundamental in the art, that their defec'ts may be eafily difcovered; and their works are fo intricate and indigel't ed, that no mean parts, and no inconfiderable degree of attention and labour, are requifite to under and them nor is it pollible to form any judgment upon hiltorians who have wrote of war, when every thing they have advanced is the produet of imagination and caprice.
