Summary "Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Volume 63, No. 389, March 1848" by Various is a historical periodical written in the mid-19th century. This edition features a diverse collection of essays and articles covering topics such as national defense, critiques of political figures like Richard Cobden, and discussions on the state of Roman Catholic practices in Rome. The content reflects the political and social climate of the time, providing insights into contemporary debates about military readiness and the implications of free trade. The opening portion of this magazine begins with a commentary on national defense, sparked by a discussion on perspectives from notable figures like the Duke of Wellington and Richard Cobden. The author casts doubt on Cobden’s arguments against military preparedness, suggesting that modern society lacks the fortifications and readiness that characterized earlier eras. Through a blend of satire and serious critique, the text explores the tension between pacifism represented by Cobden and the call for precautionary military measures expressed by the Duke. This sets the stage for a broader discussion that dives into the intricacies of national security, skepticism towards free trade, and the pitfalls of abandoning a robust defense strategy.
