Little Wars 
A Game for Boys From Twelve Years of Age to One Hundred and Fifty, and for That More Intelligent Sort of Girls Who Like Boys’ Games and Books; With an Appendix on Kriegspiel

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Little wars is the game of kings for players in an inferior social position. It can be played by boys of every age from twelve to one hundred and fifty and even later if the limbs remain sufficiently supple, – by girls of the better sort, and by a few rare and gifted women. This is to be a full History of Little Wars from its recorded and authenticated beginning until the pre sent time, an account of how to make little warfare, and hints of the most priceless sort for the recumbent strate gist.
