He submitted it to Lord Palmer;;ton. then British l'rimc Minister, and his colleagues, "some of whom, as well as himself, highly approved of it. and wks by them referred to a select committee of tho most experienced veterans of the age — supposed to be, but in reality workedout old \vomen and senib old tabbies at Woolwich."
