Synopsis
Excerpt from The War for Monarchy, 1793-1815
Posterity, content with a general knowledge of the military results of the wars of its ancestors, turns to other questions about them. It desires to know more fully than contemporaries were able to know how such wars came to begin which country was responsible for them, or whether the blame for them was divisible among all the belligerents what statesmen or parties were to blame for their not having been sooner ended; whether the pretexts for them are justified by the light of later and fuller knowledge; and how far such wars, or their protraction, were necessary or expedient, or their professed aims their real ones. To satisfy curiosity on such points is here the main endeavour.
