Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes and Recollections of an Ambulance Surgeon: Being an Account of Work Done Under the Red Cross During the Campaign of 1870 The writer can unhesitatingly say that, but for the volunteer aid furnished not merely by the belligerents but by the large-hearted liberality of neutral powers and especially England, the sufferings and misery of this terrible war would have been augmented tenfold. Those who say such aid should be withheld, that the large sums which England in her generosity so freely gave have been mis-spent, and that it but assisted the belligerents to prolong the fight, base their conclusions, I cannot but think, on somewhat harsh and narrow-minded premisses, premisses which the sterner logic of the appalling suffer ing on the actual scene of battle, could they only realize it, would soon cause to melt away.
