Notes

  • Author's note: 'Her Majesty has issued a proclamation declaring the neutrality of England...At the same time the most wise precautions are being taken. Fifty battalions are to be added to the regiments of the line. The whole of the militia of the United Kingdom is to be called out...Great activity is being displayed in the dock-yards, and a large bounty is offered for seamen...Volunteer rifle corps are being formed in all directions. - News by the Salzette'
  • A poem on the British Government's declaration of neutrality, which was made at the time of the Second Italian War of Independence (1859), fought between Austria, the Kingdom of Piedmont and Sardinia, and France.
