Review: Scholar Bishop: The Recollections and Diary of Narcissus Marsh, 1638–96

the Irish as 'inhuman wretches' who deserved no mercy. By 1690, they had to admit that they and the Irish obeyed the same rules of war. The RMA, by professionalising and civilising Irish warfare, was thus part of a long-term change in English perceptions towards Ireland. In the late eighteenth century, Ireland became part of the British realm and found its military identity in the British army's distinctively Irish regiments. By the 1840s, Irish Catholics, having ceased being rebels, formed nearly half of the Victorian army's other ranks (which itself led to a revolution in social affairs compulsory education for soldiers). By showing how logistics limited Confederate, Scots, and Jacobite operations, Bartlett counters Martin van Crefeld's view that logistics have little influence on the outcome of campaigns. Secondly, he provides an important gloss to the debate Linda Colley initiated on British state-formation by linking the RMA to changes in national perceptions. The lecture is therefore as important as Roberts's and deserves a wider readership than historians alone.
