註釋These Parliamentary papers document the major themes of nineteenth-century military reform: (a) the attempts to bring, together scattered bits of eighteenth-century military organization into a more modern and efficient system; (b) the abolition of the system of purchase of commissions in the army and (c) the struggle to free the command of the army from the Crown. The papers range in subject matter from the alleged misconduct of a Commander-in-Chief (1809) to the reorganization of the whole system of military and naval authority (1890). They contain detailed evidence on organization, administrative procedures, finance, recruitment and training, etc. Among the more important papers is the Hartington Commission Report which laid the basis for the final modernisation of the army.
