Excerpt from Peace and Reform, Against War and Corruption: In Answer to a Pamphlet, Written by Arthur Young, Esq., Entitled, "the Example of France, a Warning to Britain" The firlt Pamphlet that fnggefled to me the idea of endeavouring to expofe thefe exploded, inconfiftent, mifchievous, Doctrines, was, that of Iflr. Arthur Young. Several reafons induced me to think it a proper object of animadverfion for, although 011 the firft perufial it appeared to be fuch a jumble of contradictions, falfehoods, and even libels on that Conltitution which it profeffed to defend, thati did not believe com mon fenfe could endure it yet on reading the approbation of Mr. Reeves, and finding it had been circulated with great induftry, I concluded it might be of fome ufe to refute what I thought fo fufceptible of refutation and while the apparent eaf111efs of the talk feemed to fet its accomplifhment within my reach, an object fo inglorious did not promife to provoke a Rival. Mr. Reeves has, by his approbation, adopted its Opinions as his own, and, however worthlefs it: may be in itfelf, it no doubt derives fome con fequence from being thus promulgated as the Manifefto of his Committee.

The responses of British people to the French Revolution has recently received considerable attention from historians. British commentators often expressed a sense of the novelty and scale of European wars which followed, yet their views on this conflict have not yet attracted such thorough examination. This book offers a wide-ranging exploration of the attitudes of various groups of British people to the conflict during the 1790’s: the Government, their supporters and their opponents inside and outside Parliament, women, churchmen, and the broad mass of British public opinion. It presents the debate in England and Scotland provoked by the war both as the sequel to the French Revolution and as a distinct debate in itself. Emma Vincent Macleod argues that contemporaries saw this conflict as one of the first since the wars of religion to be significantly shaped by ideological hostility rather than solely by a struggle over strategic interests.

This volume provides a comprehensive view of the social, political and military aspects of the volunteer movement of the French Wars: the volunteer infantry, yeomanry cavalry and the armed associations in England, Scotland and Wales from 1794 to 1814 and in some cases beyond.
