Show I NAPOLEON ON WELLINGTON The April Century quotes from Dr OMearas unpublished Talks with Napoleon at St Helena this Judgment of the Imprisoned Emperor on the General Gen-eral who finally overthrew him I asked him IC he thought Lord Wellington Wel-lington merited the reputation he had gained as a General He said Certainly Certain-ly I think he does He is a very excellent excel-lent General and possessed of great firmness and talent but he has not yet dono as much as some others He has not conquered upon so large a scale I observed that he had shown great judgment Judg-ment and caution latterly but that at first he had been too precipitate In advancing ad-vancing into Spain He said that he had shown a great deal of ability In the campaign of Spain It Is impossible said ho for man not to commit some faults We aro all liable to It and the I General who commits the fewest in number is the greatest General and he has certainly committed as few as anyone any-one I then observed that still he was scarcely to be equaled to himself Why certainly said he he has not done so much as I have done He has not conquered con-quered kingdoms In the manner I have done but he Is an excellent General His operations have not been upon so great a scale |
