Excerpt from The Americana, Vol. 10: An Universal Reference Library, Comprising the Arts and Sciences, Literature, History, Biography, Geography, Commerce, Etc., Of the World

Trafalgar have served to increase the sense of security, and freedom at home and empire abroad are the twin results. At home there has been an ineradicable jealousy of a standing army, and there has therefore been freedom for the development of what Bagehot described as government by talk. The navy on the other hand has at most times been viewed with favor, for it has screened the experiment: and mistakes by which popular government has been slowly nurtured. These mistakes were often slich as would have involved a continental nation in the consequences of a Jena or a Sedan.
