MAJOR of a Regiment of Horse ought to be a man of understanding, courage, activity, experience, and address. He should be master of arithmetic, and keep a detail of the regiment in every particular; he should be skilled in horsemanship, and ever attentive to his business; he should keep an exact roster of the officers for duty; and he should have a perfect knowledge of all the military evolutions, as he is obliged by his post to instruct others.
