Excerpt from The Letters of Lord and Lady Wolseley, 1870 1911
Wolseley hung all his weight on to the opposite end of the rope. He had read much and thought more, and his own experience had burnt into him that the real métier of an armed force is to fight, and that its true training is for the front.
The Cardwell reforms had refreshed his thirst for military efficiency, and to Army Reform he eagerly dedicated himself from the day that Mr. Cardwell summoned him to the War Office. He knew that his path would be stony and uphill every step of it he would incur opposition and almost invite unpopularity he would meet with obstruction at many turns the winds of social influence would whistle in his teeth. But nothing daunted, nothing deterred him.
