Excerpt from Victorian Recollections

England's fault that our inventors have during the last five years used their talents rather in facilitating and rendering more horrible the Slaughter of mankind than in cultivating the arts of peace. We were, of courbe, forced, unwillingly, to follow suit. The world's outlook would be more promising if there were good reason for hoping that - if wars between rival nations cannot be entirely averted - there might be a return to the primeval fists and clubs - with which weapons England would doubtless achieve easy victories, and at the cost of a few broken heads and black eyes.
