Arthur Wellesley of Wellington epub Supplementary Despatches and Memoranda of Field Marshal Arthur, Duke of Wellington, K. G, Vol. 1: India, 1797-1805 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Supplementary Despatches and Memoranda of Field Marshal Arthur, Duke of Wellington, K. G, Vol. 1: India, 1797-1805 Since the appearance of the Despatches of Field Marshal the Duke of W'ellington, the Editor has discovered many unpublished papers, and others have been placed at his disposal by the executors of Marquess Wellesley and of Lord Cowley. These documents, derived from sources of the highest value, cannot fail to be useful and important for the elucidation of events in India during the period between 1797 and 1805. Europe presents no parallel with Asia in warfare or in politics: Indian records can alone furnish pre cedents to guide and to warn us amid the difficulties which surround the prosecution of the present struggle, and which complicate the details of future legislation.
