Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Characteristics of the Duke of Wellington, Apart From His Military Talents
The press has teemed with his Memoirs in every guise and in every form, and they have been published at a cost calculated to bring them within the reach of almost the poorest reader; and if the following sheets professed to be merely a general memoir of his military and political life, or a series of anecdotes, however inte resting and well-authenticated, they would, indeed, be super?uous.
