Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Sketch of the Military History of Great Britain The following little volume was written under the idea that it would go forth to the public anonymously. Not that it contains a line or a sentiment of which I am ashamed to avow myself the author. Inaccuracies there may be found in its details, though I am not aware that any such exist; and the lesson which it professes to teach is one which every lover of his country will, I think, desire to see generally learned. But, for obvious reasons, I should have preferred leaving it to stand or fall by its own merits; and I sacrifice my own wishes merely because a good man - the publisher of the work - assures me that his interests are likely to be promoted by my doing so.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the British Army, Vol. 1: First Part; To the Close of the Seven Years' War Maps and plans have been a matter of extreme difficulty, owing to the inaccuracy of the old surveys and the disappearance of such fugitive features as marsh and forest. I have followed contemporary plans wherever I could in fixing the dispositions of troops, but in many cases I should have preferred to have presented the reader with a map of the ground only, and left him to fill in the troops for himself from the description in the text. Blocks of red and blue are pleasing indeed to the eye, but it is always a question whether their facility for misleading does not exceed their utility for guidance. Actual visits to many of the battlefields of the Low Countries, with the maps of so recent a writer as Coxe in my hand, did not encourage me in my belief in the system, although, in deference to the vast majority of my advisers I have pursued it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Army From Within At the best, there is much in the work that a soldier is called on to do which is beyond his under standing, in the first years Of his service. One consequence Of this is that he learns to do things without questioning their meaning, and thus acquires a habit Of obeying; this, up to a few years ago, was the Object Of military training to instil into the soldier unquestioning Obedience to orders, and the sentence Obedience is the first duty Of the soldier, gained currency and labelled the soldier as a mere cog in a great machine, one whose duty lay in obeying as did that Roman sentinel at Pompeu. One Of the chief lessons Of the South African war, however, was that such Obedience was no longer the first duty Of the soldier; he must Obey, no less than before, but scientific warfare demands an understanding Obedience, and not the unquestioning, die-at-his post fidelity of Old time. The recruit Of to-day must be taught not only to Obey, but to understand, and by that fact the work Of his instructors, and his own work as well, are largely increased.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the British Army, Vol. 6 Spain was the next power to feel the Emperor's dis pleasure. Godoy s overtures to England became known to him at Berlin; and though, in deference to the abject apology of the Prince of the Peace, no serious notice was taken of them, yet from that moment Napoleon vowed to destroy, In his own good time, the Spanish branch of the house of Bourbon. Meanwhile he summoned the Spanish fleet to Toulon, sent five and-twenty thousand Prussian prisoners to Spain to be subsisted at Spanish expense and, as a measure of prudence, ordered fifteen thousand of the best Spanish troops to march to the Elbe. We shall shortly meet with these troops again, first on the Baltic and later during Sir John Moore's retreat on Coruna, for they formed the corps which is best remembered by the name of its commander, Marquis de la Romana.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Military Biography: Comprising the Lives of the Most Distinguished Commanders, From Alfred to Wellington; Connected by an Outline of the Military History of England, From the Earliest Period to the Present Time With this brief explanation the Author submits his work to the consideration of the public. He has endeavoured impartially and faithfully to record, and in a form which seemed to him best fitted for the purpose, the great and glorious deeds of his countrymen by sea and land. And he would also state, in conclusion, that the task - at all times an important one - has gradually acquired in his mind a higher interest from the surmise that the period of peace was again drawing to a conclusion; and that even the present generation may be summoned to emulate those deeds of valour and patriotism which it has been his lot to record. Should such an emergency unhappily occur, he will not have written in vain, if any of his readers should be animated by the history of the past, to kindle at the deeds of their fathers, and follow their example.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Most Eminent British Military Commanders, Vol. 2 Had the plan proposed by the English general been adopted, French Flanders and Brabant would have become at once the seat of war; but to a measure so hold the states would by no means consent. They had set their hearts upon the reduction of Bonn; and to gratify them, Marlborough gave up with a good grace his own well-matured opinions. By the middle of April, after leaving an adequate force to cover Liege, he was in full march towards the point Of attack; on the 3d Of May the trenches were opened, and on the 1 5th the place was surrendered by Capitulation. All this occurred ere Villeroi could well believe that the allies were in a condition to set even upon the defensive. But no sooner was he made fully aware of his error, than he hastened to retrieve it, by pressing vigorously upon Over. Kill: and the corps which protected Liege. Marlbo rough, however, was not slow in coming to the assistance of his colleague. Without so much as waiting to receive the submission of the governor of Bonn, he contented himself with signing the convention, and hurried back to Maestricht, at a convent in the vicinity of which he fixed, on the 17th, his head-quarters.
