Text in French.
Maurice de Saxe was the illegitimate child of Augustus II the King of Poland, and he eventually became the Marshall of France. He was a “notable field commander, aggressive, enterprising, and fortunate; his strategy was subtle and effective, his tactics carefully chosen to suit each occasion; his reputation is due as much to his writings as to his generalship; in Mes reveries he emphasized the use of light infantry and artillery.”
