    "England," says General Napier, "both at home and abroad was, in 1808, scorned a military power, when she possessed (without a frontier to swallow up large armies in expensive fortress) at least two hundred thousand of the best equipped and best disciplined soldiers in the universe, together with an immense recruiting establishment through the medium of the militia."
