BRONSART VON SCHELLENDORF, PAUL (1832-1891) , Prussian general, was born at Danzig in 1832. He entered the Prussian
Guards
  in 1849, and was appointed to the general staff in 1861 as a captain; after three years of staff service he returned to regimental duty, but was soon reappointed to the staff, and lectured at the war
academy
 , becoming major in 1865 and lieut.-colonel in 1869. During the war of 187o he was
chief
  of a
section
  on the
Great
  General Staff, and conducted the preliminary negotiations for the surrender of the French at
Sedan
 . After the war Bronsart was made a colonel and
chief
  of staff of the Guard army corps, becoming major-general in 1876 and lieut.-general (with a division command) in 1881. Two years later he became war minister, and during his
tenure
  of the post (18831889) many important reforms were carried out in the Prussian army, in particular the introduction of the magazine rifle. He was appointed in 1889 to command the I. army corps at
Konigsberg
 . He died on the 23rd of June 1'891 at his estate near Braunsberg. Bronsart's military writings include two works of
great
  importanceEin Riickblick auf die taktiscken Rii.ckblicke (2nd ed., Berlin, 187o), a pamphlet written in reply to Captain May's Tactical Retrospect of 1866; and Der Dienst des Generalstabes (1st ed., Berlin, 1876; 3rd ed. revised by General Meckel, 1893; new ed. by the author's son, Major Bronsart von Schellendorf, Berlin, 1904, a comprehensive treatise on the duties of the general staff. The third edition of this
work
  was soon after its publication translated into
English
  and issued officially to the British army as The Duties of the General Staff. Major Bronsart's new edition of 1904 was re-issued in
English
  by the General Staff, under the same title, in 19o5.
