execution are admirable • the plans of battles and sieges nu-
merous, ample, and useful ; the portraits of the Duke and his
warrior contemporaries many and faithful ; the battle pictures
animated and brilliant ; awl the vignettes of costumes and
manners worthy of the military genius of Horace Vernet him-
self."—Times, July 16, 1842.
