Tippu Sultan

Sir Walter Scott, dalam komentarnya tentang abdikasi Napoleon Bonaparte pada tahun 1814, menuliskan: 
"Although I never supposed that he Napoleon possessed, allowing for some difference of education, the liberality of conduct and political views which were sometimes exhibited by old Haidar Ally, yet I did think he Napoleon might have shown the same resolved and dogged spirit of resolution which induced Tippoo Saib to die manfully upon the breach of his capital city with his sabre clenched in his hand."
