Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Wellington Memorial: Wellington, His Comrades and Contemporaries It has been said, and with justice, that although numberless works, historical, biographical, and anecdotic, have dealt with the great Duke of Wellington, his true life has yet to be written. I make no pretence in these pages to fill the gap; I offer them only as a small contribution to a fuller and more just estimate of one of the greatest captains, the most honest and loyal citizens and statesmen, that have served this country. It is not too much to advance, here, that for some years past the Duke´s reputation has been under partial eclipse. The least admirable traits in his character have been unduly emphasised; we are told he was harsh, unsympathetic, ungrateful; without strong affection, whether as a son or a father; taking all to his own credit, passing on little praise and fame to those who chiefly helped him to his great successes.
