such displays of alleged cowardice

mits that the man of war ought. of

praIseWorthy not to tell the truth. but
where it is actually Indispensable to
conceal it. if only to deceive the enc

Napoleon never had any scruples
against proclaiming himself victor

tins TO swell his effectiveness, to give
IneXact figures of his losses and of
the losses of the enemy He never

knew that bravery suffered eclipses,
and that nerves have a part in the at
