A pair of ephemeral works of instruction and advice for young military officers. The first comprises collected short essays of "Instruccion" by Eduardo Paz published originally in the Boletin Militar. Topics include the proper comportment and behavior of soldiers as well as guidance on preparations for military schools. The second work, by Gustavo Salas and addressed to military school graduates, contains a short series of essays on varied topics, including the proper toilette of an officer, good business card design, and good methods for selecting a horse. We locate only one copy of each work, both at the BNM.
