We are now in a most powerful posture with an Armed force of upwards of 800'000 men and all of them mad with a desire of trying their strength with the vaunted veterans of Buonaparte"; and the letter goes on to say that 8-12 year olds are forming battalions and that if Bonaparte crossed the Channel he would not advance 50 miles. Entires from Dresden (22 Oct. 1804 and 19 March 1805) to Geneva via Hamburg in English and (8 Sept. 1805) from Vienna to Geneva "for some days everything has changed here and assumed a decidely warlike form".
