Content Description

He conducts a personal post mortem of recent actions in the Penninsular, contrasting Wellington's deeds with the conduct of the ministry; he quotes directly from Wellington that "I never saw an army get such a beating", he then analyses Wellington's personality in light of previous events in India; he finishes by using the same treatment on Lord Wellesley, only finding fault in his taste in women.
