Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from The Military Opinions of General Sir John Fox Burgoyne, Vol. 1 Believing that much which has been written by Sir John Burgoyne would be found of general interest, I have obtained his permission to publish the following pages. Their value consists in the essentially practical nature of the suggestions and opinions contained in them, which are founded, in all cases, on actual experience, - the result of an active career of half a century, passed in responsible military commands, in nearly every quarter of the globe. When Sir John Burgoyne was appointed to the office of Inspector-General of Fortifications in 1845, he was immediately struck with the defective state of our military establishments, and the imminent danger of Invasion to which the country might be exposed in the event of a rupture with France. He consequently wrote the letter which appears in the first pages of this Work. It was in answer to the representations made by Sir John Burgoyne on this occasion, that the Duke of Wellington wrote the remarkable letter which, on its publication shortly afterwards, created so great a sensation.
