MAJOR-GENERAL SIR CHARLES JAMES NAPIER, FROM A SKETCH BY MAJOR-GENERAL W. F. P. NAPIER. "I must say that, after giving the fullest consideration to those operations, that I have never known an instance of a general officer who has shewn to a higher degree than he has done all the requisite qualifications to enable him to conduct great operations. He has manifested the utmost discretion and prudence in the formation of his plans, the utmost activity in perfecting his preparations to ensure success; and finally the utmost zeal, gallantry, and science, in carrying those plans and preparations into execution. I must say that the march of General Napier against Emaum Ghur was one of the most extraordinary marches I ever read of; and it was, I must say, most completely successful. He marched the army through the desert, with all the heavy guns, transporting all his materiel as well, and by this extraordinary march he deprived the enemy of all means of retreat."-Speech of the Duke of Wellington. "The taking of the fort of Emaum Ghur, was one of the most brilliant affairs ever undertaken and executed."-Speech of the Earl of Ripon. "To the example which he set the troops-inspiring an unparalleled confidence in their commander,-we must mainly attribute the success of the actions of Meeanee and Hyderabad."-Speech of Sir Robert Peel. In one volume 8vo. price 78. boards, REMARKS ON MILITARY LAW AND THE PUNISHMENT OF FLOGGING. BY MAJOR-GENERAL SIR CHARLES JAMES NAPIER, K.C.B. "In Scinde he had an opportunity of shewing some of the greatest qualities which which could distinguish a military Commander-prompt decision, energy, undaunted bravery, consummate military skill, and, above all, that power which particularly distinguishes superior minds-the power of inspiring into all who served under his command a portion of the same spirit by which he was himself animated."-Speech of Lord Howick. "He was cognisant of many transactions in which that gallant officer was concerned during the Peninsular war, and his humanity was equal to his gallantry. It was the opinion of the whole army, that to his master-mind was to be attributed that final success."-Speech of General Sir H. Hardinge. "This work, we have several times taken occasion to remark, is far less known than it deserves to be, especially among the profession. It abounds in lessons of profound wisdom, delivered in the clearest language, and it is as modestly as it is ably written; nor have we often met with a more amusing book. There are to be found in it many interesting and characteristic anecdotes, and there is a vein of quiet humour that is very diverting, but which interferes not at all with the serious purpose of the author, who has left upon every page traces of a benevolent heart and sound intellect."-Naval and Military Gazette. COLONIZATION: PARTICULARLY IN SOUTHERN AUSTRALIA, BY MAJOR-GENERAL SIR CHARLES JAMES NAPIER, K.C.B. "We earnestly recommend the book to all who feel an interest in the welfare of the people."--Sun. |
