Extract

The present paper may be considered a sequel to that upon the “Mortality arising from Naval Operations,” which I had the honour to lay before the Society in their last session.

Although military affairs are in general looked upon in England with less interest than those of the navy, they derive at this time increased importance from the fact that nearly all the great operations of the present war have been upon land; and have, moreover, from a combination of unfortunate circumstances, been subjected to much criticism and discussion.
