Excerpt: ...befell in the pursuit, it was probably 40,000 at the least. The Duke reached his head-quarters at Waterloo about ten o'clock at night. He had ridden the same horse all day, yet such was the spirit of the animal, that on his master dismounting, he kicked out in play, and well-nigh struck the Duke. The Duke entered, and found his dinner prepared with as much regularity as if the cook had expected him home from a review. He eat little, and eat in silence: indeed grief for the fallen, and anxious thoughts about their relatives, quite broke him down. "I cannot express to you," he wrote to Lord Aberdeen, "the regret and sorrow with which J look round me, and contemplate the loss which I 1815. THE DtJKE'S GRLEF FOR THE FALLEN. 273 have sustained, particularly in your brother. The glory resulting from such actions, so dearly bought, is no consolation to me; and I cannot suggest it as any to you and to his friends." In the samo spirit he expressed himself when communicating with the Duke of Beaufort. "Tou are aware how useful your brother has always been to me, and how much. I shall feel the want of his assistance, and what a regard and affection I feel for him, and you will readily be lieve how much concerned I am for his misfortune. Indeed, the losses I have sustained have quite broke me down, and I have no feeling for the advantages I have acquired." The Duke retired to bed, worn out with fatigue and excitement. He slept till an hour which was late for him, that is to say, at seven next morning Dr Hume arrived to make his report, and found that his chief was not yet stirring. Having waited till eight, Dr Hume took it upon him to knock at the bed-room door, and being desired to enter he did so. The Duke sat up in...

Download or read book Architects of Empire written by John Kenneth Severn and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A soldier and statesman for the ages, the Duke of Wellington is a towering figure in world history. John Severn now offers a fresh look at the man born Arthur Wellesley to show that his career was very much a family affair, a lifelong series of interactions with his brothers and their common Anglo-Irish heritage. The untold story of a great family drama, Architects of Empire paints a new picture of the era through the collective biography of Wellesley and his siblings. Severn takes readers from the British Raj in India to the battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars to the halls of Parliament as he traces the rise of the five brothers from obscurity to prominence. Severn covers both the imperial Indian period before 1800 and the domestic political period after 1820, describing the wide range of experiences Arthur and his brothers lived through. Architects of Empire brings together in a single volume a grand story that before now was discernible only through political or military analysis. Weaving the personal history of the brothers into a captivating narrative, it tells of sibling rivalry among men who were by turns generous and supportive, then insensitive and cruel. Whereas other historians have minimized the importance of family ties, Severn provides an unusually nuanced understanding of the Duke of Wellington. Architects of Empire casts his career in a new light--one that will surprise those who believe they already know the man.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Arthur Duke of Wellington Wellesley being consulted as to the measures best adapted to restrain or repel the invasion, says, The art of crossing rivers is now so well understood, and has been so frequently practised, and so invariably, I believe, with success in the late wars of Europe, that we cannot hope to defend the Indus as a bar rier. It is true that the enemy will not be in possession of the resources and means which they could apply to such an operation on a river in Italy or in Germany, but they will experience no want of such resources as that country will afford; and I have made as good a bridge with the basket-boats (which are described in Caesar, and are in use all over India, the materials for which are to be found everywhere), as I could have made of the best pontoons.
