That is all very pretty, and sounds pre-Napoleonic, but we cannot all swallow sweet, cantish little nothings in place of food and wages. Better would it have been had Elizabeth shown some practical evidence of "devotion" to her "people" by granting supplies and food to her starving sailors who fought and won in the most deadly naval encounter that the world has ever known.
And so it proved, for the wars of the middle nineteenth century did in fact revert to the pre-Napoleonic type. In short, Clausewitz's difficulty in adopting his abstract theory as a working rule was that his practical mind could not forget that war had not begun with the Revolutionary era, nor was it likely to end with it.
Those we had in the school for the use of the big boys dreadful old blunderbusses of the pre-Napoleonic era were of the same pattern.
