To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We cannot imagine, from anything we have hitherto seen, the formation of some great league among two or three of the foremost nations of Europe, which league should be based upon the principle of diminishing the individual forces of each nation, and combining them for the defence of any one of these nations that might be attacked.
We have no right to imagine that a great war will have for its consequence the diminution of warlike armaments. We have had great wars in 154 SHORT ESSAYS our time, a...nd they have not produced this wished- for diminution.
We have no right to expect, from experience, that the advance of Christianity will diminish these armaments. I have not observed that " Most Christian Kings" and " Defenders of the Faith" have been less prone to war than the veriest infidels and pagans.
We have no right to expect that careful argu- ment will do what we wish to have done in this matter. No question has been better argued out than that of the absurdity and mischief of main- taining these huge armaments.
