A Letter To The Queen On A Late Court Martial

By Samuel Warren

Book Overview

""A Letter to the Queen on a Late Court Martial"" is a historical book written by Samuel Warren. Published in 1845, the book is a critical analysis of a court martial that took place in the British Navy. The author presents his views on the court martial and the injustice meted out to the accused officer. The book is written in the form of a letter addressed to Queen Victoria, who was the reigning monarch of Britain at the time. The court martial in question involved an officer who was accused of misconduct and was found guilty by the court. However, Warren argues that the proceedings were flawed and the evidence presented was insufficient to prove the guilt of the accused. He also highlights the biased nature of the court and the lack of transparency in the proceedings. The book is a scathing critique of the British Navy and its justice system. Warren presents a compelling argument for the need for reform and fair treatment of accused officers. The book is also a reflection of the social and political climate of the time, where the British Empire was at the height of its power and influence. Overall, ""A Letter to the Queen on a Late Court Martial"" is a thought-provoking historical work that sheds light on the workings of the British Navy and the justice system of the time. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in British history, military justice, and the role of the monarchy in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
