Not that war will cease for many generations, but that itwill continually move more in greater subjection to national laws andChristian opinion. Nevermore will it be excited by mere court intrigue, or even by ministerial necessities. No more will a quarrel between twoladies about a pair of gloves, or a fit of ill-temper in a prince towardhis minister, call forth the dread scourge by way of letti...ng offpersonal irritation or redressing the balance of parties.
_Funding_, therefore, was a great step in advance; and even already wehave only to look into the Exchequer in order to read the possibilities, the ebbs and flows of war beforehand. This consideration of money, it istrue--even as the sinews of war--was not so great in ancient history. And the reason is evident. Kings did not then go to war _by_ money, but_for_ money. They did not look into the Exchequer for the means of acampaign, but they looked into a campaign for the means of an Exchequer.
