...Lampoon's effort is a brilliant piece of parody. Sometimes it is a little obvious, and the number of themes upon which it lays unholy hands could have been varied with advantage. But the headlines and memorial notices are alone worth the price of admission; and the editorial is so like what the Transcript actually preaches--it is perhaps rather better written--as to suggest that it was contributed in all seriousness from the Transcript office. Excellent, too, is the life of General Edwards which may, one would hope, suppress the possible appearance of the half-dozen volumes of biography...

This would include, besides the citizen soldiery an efficient well paid army of regular combat troops...
