a moment is impossible." We do not know that a military disposition
is essential to military success. A national vanity like
the French — a national or loyal prejudice like the German —
an individual self-importance like the English — or a
sense of superior rights or institutions like the Americans,
are better sources of courage than even a military disposition.
But the Prussian system is solely defensive, +
and our author says, "Let an enemy march tomorrow
into Prussia; he might take possession of
a particular spot, but all around him would continue
a regular organised camp; each individual knowing the
tie which binds him to another, and a sympathetic and
electrical feeling running along the whole chain of
society." But what could this do against concentric
movements? The present system of Prussia commenced in
1810: Napoleon marched there and occupied the country
in 1811, 1812, and 1813; and it was not until the French
were destroyed at Moscow, and pressed by every nation,
that Prussia became powerful in the field. Even
at Ligney she was defeated. It is not by converting a
whole country into a barrack that a nation becomes
powerful.
