imaginary one. 1.-THE Battle of Dor
king" was the title Of a clever piece of
fiction written many years ago for the
purpose of alarming the people of Eng
land by showing how easily a German
army could overrun and capture the
island. The author Of the story was
Sir George Chesney. an officer Of high
rank in the British army. who served
with distinction in India and was aft
erward promoted to lieutenant general.
The story was written just after the
Franco-Prussian war and was publish=
ed anonymously in Blackwood's Maya
zine in 1871. Its complete title was
THE Battle Of Dorking; or, Reminis.
cences Of Volunteer" ard the au-
thors knowledge of military affairs
and strategy enabled him to give very
realistic account of the operations of
an invading army. The story had a
great run and helped to bring about an
improvement in England's means of
national defense.
