References concerning the education of officers, Mid 1800s

Years ago I was walking around the Tower of London and one of the information stations talked about the importance of the men protecting the walls that surrounded the tower. One of the sentences got me thinking, it stated that the tower was only as strong as the men and leaders defending it. Further thought on the subject, the education of the officer core is critical to the outcome of any type of military engagement.

I started to search for references concerning the education of officers during the Napoleonic Wars. I was only able to locate a number of references on Google Books to instructions and regulations for officers during the mid 1800s. The number of books available concerning the education of officers increases for the later part of the century.
