“1) Ignorance of your profession is best concealed by solemnity and silence, which pass for profound knowledge upon the generality of mankind. A proper attention to these, together with extreme severity, particularly in trifles, will soon procure you the character of a good officer.

“2) Be sure to give out a number of orders … The more trifling they are, the more it shews your attention to the service; and should your orders contradict one another, it will give you an opportunity of altering them, and find subject for fresh regulations.”

From the sixth edition of Advice to the Officer of the British Army, published in 1783.
