The Life of Arthur Duke of Wellington (Classic Reprint) by G. R. Gleig Pdf

Excerpt from The Life of Arthur Duke of Wellington Wellesley being consulted as to the measures best adapted to restrain or repel the invasion, says, The art of crossing rivers is now so well understood, and has been so frequently practised, and so invariably, I believe, with success in the late wars of Europe, that we cannot hope to defend the Indus as a bar rier. It is true that the enemy will not be in possession of the resources and means which they could apply to such an operation on a river in Italy or in Germany, but they will experience no want of such resources as that country will afford; and I have made as good a bridge with the basket-boats (which are described in Caesar, and are in use all over India, the materials for which are to be found everywhere), as I could have made of the best pontoons.

The Life of the Most Noble Arthur, Marquis and Earl of Wellington (Classic Reprint) by Francis L. Clarke Pdf

Excerpt from The Life of the Most Noble Arthur, Marquis and Earl of Wellington This latter excellence of rapidity and determination was, indeed, always eapected by his friends and we shall have occasion to see, in the progress of this biography, particu tatly in detailing his brilliancy of thought at the glorious battle of Assye, on the plains of'hindoostan, that their ex pectations were well founded but the' steadiness of his other operations, the self-denial with which he has delayed to pinch: the taunts which victory held out to him with open hand, are traits in his character which might have been con ridered as unlikely to appear, and that without derogating from the high character which he had acquired previous to his present distinguished matrix: the Peninsula.

Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ...befell in the pursuit, it was probably 40,000 at the least. The Duke reached his head-quarters at Waterloo about ten o'clock at night. He had ridden the same horse all day, yet such was the spirit of the animal, that on his master dismounting, he kicked out in play, and well-nigh struck the Duke. The Duke entered, and found his dinner prepared with as much regularity as if the cook had expected him home from a review.
