Excerpt from Sources of Information on Military Professional Subjects: A Classification List of Books and Publications The following pages contain a complete list of books and publications (not confidential) received in the Military Information Division up to April 15, 1896. This collection is in no sense a complete military library, being restricted as far as possible to the official and semioflicial military and statistical publications of foreign countries. The works belonging to the Military Information Division are not, in general, available for circulation among officers of the Army outside of the city of Washington, as they are constantly required for consultation in answering ofiicial questions submitted by the War Department and the Headquarters of the Army. The War Department Library contains duplicates of many of the books mentioned in these pages, besides much military literature, historical, controversial, and otherwise, that has no place in this collection. A list of foreign military magazines has been added, many of which are on file in the War Department Library. For the convenience of oflicers desiring to purchase foreign military works, a list has been added of the principal military publishers and booksellers in foreign countries, and the names of some importers of this kind of literature.
