THE LIFE OF ARTHUR, DUKE OF
WELLINGTON, K.G., &c.

By W. H. MAXWELL.
Mr. Maxwell's Life of the Duke of Wellington,' in our
opinion, has no rival among similar publications of the day.
. . . . We pronounce it free from flattery and bombast,
succinct and masterly The type and mechanical
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 ; an•.i the vignettes of costumes and
manners worthy of the military genius of Horace Vernet him-
self."—Times, July 16, 1842.
