[Rarebooks] FS: 1825 American Militia Officer's Manual

[Joslin Hall Rare Books, ABAA]

Dyckman, J.G.  THE AMERICAN MILITIA OFFICER'S MANUAL, being a plain and
concise system of instruction for Infantry, Field & Horse Artillery,
Cavalry and Riflemen.  As adopted by law for the standard of discipline in
the states of New-York and New-Jersey.  With An Appendix, containing forms
for orders, returns &c. and directions for holding courts martial.

New York; N.B. Holmes:1825. 2nd edition, revised, corrected and enlarged.

The first edition was published in 1824.  Dyckman's manual appears to have
been the semi-official manual distributed in New Jersey (although it was
also ordered to be distributed to all Company Commanders and Adjutants in
New York).  Dyckman had practical experience -he had actually commanded a
battalion of light infantry in the New York militia when it was "called
into service of the United States".  Hardcover.  4"x7", 179 pages, folding
frontispiece table showing "the proper station of each officer in a
regiment of infantry".  Bound in full period mottled calf with a red spine
label, minor rubbing to the tips, etc.  There is scattered minor foxing
throughout, but it is not all that pronounced.  $375.00
