How To Defend The Colony

""How To Defend The Colony"" is a speech delivered by John Dunmore Lang in the Legislative Assembly of New South Wales on December 20, 1859. The speech focuses on the need for the colony to prepare for potential attacks from foreign powers, particularly England and France. Lang argues that the colony must strengthen its military and naval capabilities, and calls for the establishment of a volunteer force to defend against any potential threats. He also discusses the importance of maintaining strong diplomatic relations with other nations. The book provides a fascinating insight into the political and military climate of 19th century Australia, and offers valuable lessons on the importance of national defense and diplomacy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
