François-Aymar de monteil (1725-1787) naval officer, he distinguished himself in the American War of Independence. 2 manuscripts, the second with a few autograph additions and corrections; 45-page in-4 notebook in brown and red ink, gilt edges, combed paper hardcover, and 20-page in-fol. notebook bound with a pink ribbon. Sur l'art militaire, in homage to Frederick II of Prussia.* Principes généraux sur les parties les plus essentielles de la Science militaire, tant extraits litteralement du Poeme de l'art de la guerre imprimé à Sans-Souci 1760, qu'imités pour le style et pour les maximes d'après ce modèle. A carefully calligraphed collection, partly in red ink, of 8 verse pieces: De l'Étude Militaire, De la Discipline, De la Marche, Des Marches et des Camps, Des Quartiers d'hiver, Des Sièges, Des Batailles, Des Retraites. Let's quote the beginning of the opening poem: "Come, young warriors, it is Mars who calls you, [...] A Star in the North has chased away the darkness, And the blind routine adopted in the past gives way to sublime laws today"... * Reflections on military discipline or on the political effects it has produced today. Part 1 Military discipline. Didactic essay to which Monteil has added a long marginal note on the notion of honor. "It does not appear that the King of Prussia understood honor to mean that romantic and indefinable sentiment by which administrators less philosophical than himself believed they could demand of the multitude and for small interests the efforts that the most heroic passions do not nobly demand of the most extraordinary men, I mean that total abnegation of oneself which makes one despise riches, the sweets of life and life itself", etc.
