A candidate for the office of Aidc-de-Camp must read and write grammatically —a hard trial for some gentlemen . m reel—must lenow one European language besides his own ; Bri-adc-Majors must also know the movements ot Soops , articles of war , and the regulations of the Queen ; and candidates for the high offices must . know something of the way to survey a country—to sketch ifc , with ° the use of logaritlxms .
