Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review, or Critical Journal, Vol. 197: For January, 1903; ..April, 1903; To Be Continued Quarterly In May 1803, when the war that for a space had failed began again to thunder, it was the common belief of French and English that the First Consul, soon to be Emperor, was bent on carrying out the long-conceived plan of invading England. For more than a hundred years this had been a favourite idea of the old monarchy, and the republic had inherited it. During the early years of the Revolutionary war, several attempts at the invasion of England or Ireland had been planned, some had actually been made; and though they had ended in disappointment, there were few Frenchmen who knew why, or who, in 1803, doubted that, under the guidance of Bonaparte, the time for success had arrived. In England, too, there were very many who feared this, and the enormous muster of volunteers may be taken as a measure of the general apprehension and of the necessity the Government was under of meeting it in a way that the public could understand. It was a political rather than a military provision, for in fact the actual and efficient defence of the country was entrusted to the navy.
