The device reproduced on the back cover is the oldest military insignia in continuous use in the United States. It first appeared, as shown here, on Marine Corps buttons adopted in 1804. With the stars changed to five points, this device has continued on Marine buttons to the present day.

Footnotes marked thus [12] have been moved to the end of the chapter in which they occur.

Footnotes marked thus (12) can be seen in Appendix A, as in the original document.
