It is worthy of note, that THE EESTOEATION. 195 During the parliamentary recess in IGGl, Charles proceeded to disband the army. This act was deemed expedient on several accounts ; and that fiinious body of troops, which had won so many battles and decided so many changes in the past history of the nation, was now entirely passive, and immediately obeyed the voice of authority. Fifty thousand men gave up their arms and quitted the military service for ever. Past experience had taught them that t...he sword could not effect a settlement of the nation.
