Page 139 - He devised an ingenious mode of reducing the country without laying it waste, by depriving it of its arms and taking part of its produce for the supply of the Republican army. In the first place he persisted in the establishment of entrenched camps. He then formed a circular line which was supported by the Sevre and Loire and tended to envelop progressively the whole country.
Page 13 - It comprises the expeditions against savages and semi-civilised races by disciplined soldiers, it comprises campaigns undertaken to suppress rebellions and guerilla warfare in all parts of the world where organized armies are struggling against opponents who will not meet them in the open field, and it thus obviously covers operations very varying in their scope and in their conditions.

This has nearly been accomplished, and military occupation must keep them in subjection. But as it is difficult to define the origin or nature...
Page 32 - In planning a war against an uncivilized nation who has, perhaps, no capital," says Lord Wolseley, " your first object should be the capture of whatever they prize most, and the destruction or deprivation of which will probably bring the war most rapidly to a conclusion.
