Publisher's Synopsis
On The Necessity Of A More Effectual System Of National Defense: And The Means Of Establishing The Permanent Security Of The Kingdom is a book written by Thomas Douglas Selkirk in 1808. The book discusses the need for a stronger national defense system and proposes means to establish permanent security for the kingdom. Selkirk argues that the current defense system is inadequate and vulnerable to attacks from foreign powers. He suggests that the government should invest in improving the military and naval forces, as well as fortifying key locations to prevent invasion. The book also explores the importance of alliances with other countries and the role of diplomacy in maintaining peace. Selkirk's work provides insight into the political and military climate of the early 19th century and offers valuable perspectives on national security and defense.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
