I have followed with little interruption the long tale of hostilities¹ which opened with the declaration of war with Spain and closed with the Peace of Fontainebleau; for despite the brief truce² made by the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle, the armies of England and France were eternally in collision either in the far east or the far west, so that to all intent the struggle resolved itself into one long war. Little though she knew it, England, when she entered wantonly and with a light heart upon the attack on the Spanish Main, had really set herself to wrestle³ with the French for the empire of the world. For nearly seventeen years she waited for the man who would carry her victorious⁵ through the contest; and at last he appeared. The instant change which came over the spirit of the nation when he assumed command has already been shown in the narrative⁶ of the operations. It remains⁷ only to study more closely the conduct of the war in the departments at home, and to trace the progress, not only in the organisation⁸ and training of the various branches of the Army, but also in the general administration.

The war with Spain opened, as will be remembered, while the nation had not yet ceased to rail at the iniquity⁹ of a standing¹⁰ Army, when the ascendency of the civilian¹¹ element at the War Office was overpowering, and when the attitude of the ordinary citizen towards the soldier was unfriendly even to aggression12
