Le Génie De L'Orient - Lettres De Guerre D''Un Officier Du Génie De L''Algérie À La Crimée (1831-1856)

by Jacques Resal e Pierre Allorant

13,24€ + 10% CARD

 Un ouvrage intéressant qui reprend le point de vue d’un militaire avant la Première Guerre mondiale Loin de l’idée reçue d’un XIXe siècle marqué par une phase de paix entre les guerres de Napoléon et la Grande Guerre, la correspondance familiale de l’officier du génie Ernest Ballard témoigne de la violence des premières phases de la conquête de l’Algérie en 1831 et 1841 qu’il décrit à ses parents. Reparti en Méditerranée orientale en 1855, le capitaine Ballard, désormais officier d’état-major relate à son épouse l’expédition de Crimée, de son départ de Marseille à son débarquement à Constantinople, puis de Sébastopol au camp de Traktir. Ce témoignage épistolaire inédit est d’autant plus exceptionnel que ce polytechnicien est un adepte du fouriérisme, actionnaire de l’Union agricole du Sig près d’Oran, lecteur de la Démocratie pacifique de Victor Considérant. EXTRAIT Alger, le 21 novembre 1831 Ernest à sa sœur Louise Ballard On m’a rappelé à Alger pour être meunier, c’est à dire surveiller les travaux que l’on avait à faire à des moulins que l’on avait établis depuis six mois et qui ne vont pas. Depuis mon arrivée, je n’ai eu le temps de connaître que le chemin d’Alger aux moulins et pas autre chose. Enfin, imagine-toi que je n’ai pas seulement vu la Casbah, c’était cependant le moins qu’on pouvait faire, de sorte que je ne t’apprendrai presque rien de ce pays. Je ne me suis trouvé qu’une seule fois l’occasion de parler bédouin, langue épouvantable, à laquelle personne ne mord ; il est très peu de personnes dans l’armée qui l’entende et encore moins qui la parle. Mais si les personnes qu’on rencontre ont une figure française, il n’en est pas de même des maisons qui ont une tournure algérienne et qui ne ressemblent en rien aux nôtres. Toutes les fois qu’on aperçoit une maison ayant des fenêtres de plus d’un pied carré, on peut dire qu’elle n’est pas habitée par des naturels du pays, qui n’ont que de très petits jours, grillagés dans la rue et placés à un pied au-dessus du sol des appartements. C’est derrière ces jours que les Algériennes se mettent pour regarder les passants, ce qui est le seul délassement pour elles.

The problem of governing Ireland presented difficulties in the latter part of the fifteenth century, as perplexing as those with which we are confronted in the nineteenth. For obvious reasons the solution of those difficulties cannot be discussed here. The all but universal aspiration of the Irish people for some form of national Parliament has been intensified by the misgovernment of half a millennium. Its concession, absolute and without restriction, to the extent of creating elective County Boards, charged with the administration of those local affairs which do not trench upon matters of Imperial concern, is demanded by every principle of political morality, and is the condition of the maintenance of the Union. Nothing was further from the purpose of Richard III. than to make such concessions.

But all through this voyage, both in revisiting islands well known to us, and in recommencing the work in other islands, where, amidst the multitude of the Primate''s engagements, it had been impossible to keep up our acquaintance with the people, and in opening the way in islands now visited for the first time, from the beginning to the end, it pleased God to prosper us beyond all our utmost hopes. I was not only able to land on many places where, as far as I know, no white man had set foot before, but to go inland, to inspect the houses, canoes, &c., in crowded villages (as at Santa Cruz), or to sit for two hours alone amidst a throng of people (as at Pentecost Island), or to walk two and a half miles inland (as at Tariko or Aspee). From no less than eight islands have we for the first time received young people for our school here, and fifty-one Melanesian men, women, and young lads are now with us, gathered from twenty-four islands, exclusive of the islands so long known to us of the Loyalty Group. When you remember that at Santa Cruz, e.g., we had never landed before, and that this voyage I was permitted to go ashore at seven different places in one day, during which I saw about 1,200 men: that in all these islands the inhabitants are, to look at, wild, naked, armed with spears and clubs, or bows and poisoned arrows; that every man''s hand (as, alas!

Though this work is composed principally for religious, yet it is very useful to all Christians; and this second part, in particular, is so disposed, as to be of very great advantage to all secular persons who desire to give themselves entirely to God''s service. For their first duty is to subdue their hearts by mortifying their passions, by subjecting their senses, (especially their tongue,) and by humbling themselves before God, in order that those virtues and good works which they have planted in their souls, may spring up and bring forth such fruit as should be expected. It is for this reason that I treat first of mortification, then of modesty and silence, and afterwards of humility; which are the virtues a Christian ought chiefly practise in the beginning of his conversion. And because the Holy Ghost would have those that enter into God''s service, remain in fear, and prepare themselves for temptation, I therefore speak in the fourth treatise, of the profit and advantage of temptations, and point out the means of overcoming them. In the fifth and sixth treatises, I show the obstacles that occur in the paths of virtue, and of how great advantage it is to walk always in these paths with joy and liberty.

Yet Jefferson''s blind faith in his miserable experiment was unshaken. He refused to consider the substitution for it of any policy but war. In his annual message of November 8, 1808, he characteristically avoided mention ing the embargo, in order to throw on Congress the entire responsibility for it. He sought to divert public senti ment by recommending an appropriation of the much vaunted surplus for a comprehensive scheme Of internal improvements. To New England Federalists it seemed cruelly insulting to boast of prosperity while their section was suffering, and to propose squandering the public revenue for the benefit of the South and West, while refusing to provide an efficient navy to protect New England''s commerce.

The two Parts comprised in Vol. II. cover twenty-four years, 1849 to 1872. The Author much regrets that this period was not divided into three Parts, of about eight years each. As it is, the Parts are too long and full, and the chapters overlap more than is desirable. For example, the reader will find himself in the Revival period of 1860 at home before he comes to events abroad ten years older; and Dr. Pfander''s later work at Constantinople has to be taken before his earlier work in India. But there need be no confusion if the dates are carefully noted. The first two chapters of Part VI. deal with the Environment. Many of the events recorded in Chap. XXXIII., the Gorham Judgment, the Revival of Convocation, c, are the commonplaces of modern Church Histories; but those of Chap. XXXIV., the new Evangelical Movements and their effect upon the Church, although equally important, are generally ignored. Chap. XXXV. introduces the Personnel, as in previous Parts. Chaps. XXXVI. and XXXVII. also introduce persons - the candidates from the Universities, and the Islington men - with many biographical details. Then, in turning to the Missions, we take New Zealand first, because we have to review Bishop Selwyn''s plans for Church organization and the resulting controversies, thus continuing certain discussions in Chap. XXXIII., the first in this Part. The rest of the Part, comprising twelve chapters, is devoted to the Mission-field. Chap. XXXIX., on West Africa, touches interesting points, the interest taken by the Queen and Lord Palmerston in African affairs, the efforts of H.Venn to promote industry and commerce, and the brief episcopates and deaths of the first three Bishops of Sierra Leone. Chap. XL. introduces the story of East African exploration; and Chap. XLI. the "proselytism" controversy regarding Bishop Gobat, and the British relations with Turkey after the Crimean War. Chap. XLIX. also touches political matters, in refe

In a map on so small a scale, it is impossible to give even a tolerable outline of the vast countries comprised in the kingdoms, either subject to, or in immediate alliance with, and also contiguous to the British territories. The colours have been introduced for the purpose of indicating the possessions acquired under the respective Governors-general. Red, those acquired by Lord Clive. From Cape Comorin to the Sutlej, and from Assam to the Indus, the British power may be said to be paramount. Advancing from the southernmost point: - Travancore is a subsidiary state; Mysore is under British administration; Sattara, the Nizam, and Berar, are all dependent upon the British power, by subsidy or otherwise. Crossing to the north of the Nerbuddah, we enter Malwa, or Central India, a country comprising Guzerat and Bundlecund, with the various Rajpoot Princes. Originally under the Hindoo power, it became subject to that of the Mogul, until the invasion of the Mahrattas. The rivers Chumbul and Sinde running through the centre and falling into the Jumna.
