- [RETIRED MILITARY OFFICER] National regeneration, social, political, and military; suggested by Prince de Joinville's 'Essai sur les forces navales de la France'. By a Retired Military Officer. London: F. and W. Boone, 1844 8vo, 36pp, recently well bound in linen-backed marbled boards lettered. A very good copy. First edition. Not in Goldsmiths, Kress or Black. Not found in NUC. The author warns of the power of steam in its application to war will leave Britain vulnerable to European and American enemies. His thesis is two-pronged: on the one hand, Britain must build up its military strength to be an effective and professional defensive force: on the other, and equally importantly, she must solve her social and economic problems at home (poverty, unemployment, etc.) where there is a potential internal enemy among the "debilitated, dejected, and righteously disaffected labouring population". Keywords :- social problems, military Price - £75 |
