Wellingtoniana Or Anecdotes And Incidents In The Life Of The Duke Of Wellington PDF Download

Excerpt from Wellingtoniana: Anecdotes, Maxims, and Characteristics, of the Duke of Wellington Sir John Shore seems to have very promptly and acutely discerned the true character of the young soldier. The present Lord Teignmouth tells us that, at their first interview, at a levee, Sir John turned quickly round to his aides-de-camp, as Colonel Wesley retired, remarking: If that officer should ever have an Opportunity of distinguishing himself, he will do it, and greatly. He was a frequent guest at the table of Sir John Shore, who, in after-life, often adverted to the union of strong sense and boyish playfulness which, he said, was at that time a peculiar characteristic of his young friend.
