Staying in a larger collective both during peace and war times has brought many negative aspects, including different diseases, which also affected the army members. The study is aimed at monitoring the health care for the hospitalised army members in the military hospitals in the 18th and early 19th century. Attention was paid only to the specific issues of catering provided to the sick army members in the military hospitals and health care facilities. We carried out the research based on the period Enlightenment medical literature.

The military topic has always been a point of interest not only of the members of the armed forces themselves but also the military theoreticians who had been publishing scripts with military themes since the ancient times. Always, apart from that, there was also the professional military literature at the level of regulations, exercise rules or practical manuals and guidebooks. What is interesting is that in Modern Times, the military topic also resonated in the non-military environment and has found its fans among the middle class. The author focuses his attention on the reception of book publications with military theme in the non-military environment, concentrating on the private and institutional libraries in Slovakia. Compared to the aristocratic libraries, the books with military themes were logically represented in a much smaller number. However, it is surprising that the middle class libraries did not contain the accessible works of antique authors and were limited to the literally modern, practical works - the townsmen owned various manuals for handling particular weapons (muskets, spears, cutting weapons), works focusing on the contemporary situation in the military science and practice or scripts dedicated to military constructions. The author examined all the middle class libraries containing any works of this type, identifying and analysing in detail the individual works which were often mentioned in the inventory only in form of an incomplete record. He also drew attention to the works dealing with the military topic only partially, such as the works on military health care or spiritual service. In conclusion, he clarified the practical reasons leading the middle class to acquisition of the professional military literature.

In the introduction of the material study, the author states that the new situation in the military development in the 18th century was also connected to the development of the military theory dominated by France. Furthermore, during this era, several practical military manuals and regulations were issued for various command levels and army units. In the published paper, the author addresses the work of Baron Karl Ludwig O'Cahill, where he outlined the period idea of how to build a good army. His work was interesting from the point of view that in many cases we can partially see the differences between the idealistic idea and the period reality of the 18th century armies. We have relatively few detailed information about the author to help us reconstruct his life. He was born in Beelitz in1746 (Potsdam, Brandenburg) and died in Würzburg between 1804 and 1809. He served as an officer in Baden. In his works, he mentioned his titles and ranks. They imply that he was familiar with the military environment of the late of the 18th and early 19th centuries, when the Napoleonic wars were taking place in Europe. In his youth, he was a Kammerjunker at the Hohenlohe – Waldenburg – Schilling princely court, later becoming the Court Marshal. He served in the infantry regiment of von Jung-Sutterheim. It is probable that he had excellent knowledge of the French language, which is documented by several translations. Compared to his scarce biographic data, O'Cahill’s bibliography was relatively rich. During his time, his works were very popular and were published in several editions. He addressed not only the military topics, military history, current military and political situation but also tried creating prosaic, dramatic and ethical works. In his work about forming a good, ideal army in the second half of the 18th century, he described the tactics, training and organisation of infantry, cavalry, artillery, military engineering, health care and security for military veterans. The benefit of the work consisted in comparing the idealistic ideas about army with their period reality.

Historical research in Slovakia is done in the form of projects. The system aims to improve the competitiveness of scientific work and the quality of the results. The grant commission of the Slovak Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Education of the Slovak Republic are ultimately responsible for deciding on the approval and financing of projects. In the process of evaluating projects they must also solve questions of an ethical and moral character.
