COMPILED FROM OFFICIAL AND OTHER AUTHENTIC DOCUMENTS. 



BY COLONEL GURWOOD, C.B. 

 A New and Enlarged Edition. 8 Vols. 8vo. 21*. each. 



" That series of despatches which now constitute so extraordinary a monument to 

 his fame." Times, Sept. 15, 1852. 



" The grandest of all the Wellington monuments is to be found in the volumes 

 of ' The Wellington Despatches,' that wonderful collection which, to those who 

 read its pages rightly, supplies proofs of the author's greatness more eloquent than 

 the bronze of Chantrey or of Steell more convincing even than the early conquests in 

 India, the brilliant triumphs of the Peninsula, or the final overthrow of Napoleon." 

 Edinburgh Courant. 



" The Duke of Wellington's Despatches will be a source of wonder, praise, and 

 admiration to late, very late generations. 



It would be idle at this time of day to dilate on the treasure our country 

 possesses in the Duke of Wellington's Despatches or the wisdom which sanctioned 

 their publication in the lifetime of their illustrious author." Quarterly Review. 



" The collected Despatches and military Memoirs of the Duke of Wellington 

 actually fill nine large octavo volumes, and these most honourably reveal the man. 

 The Duke was not known till they appeared. In this collection we have a test of what 

 he truly was ; and, curiously enough, the parallel Despatches both of Marlborough 

 and Nelson survive to set off the delineation in the lights of contrast. The great 

 publication of Colonel Gurwood.'' Morning Chronicle.

A POPULAR SELECTION FROM THE WELLINGTON DESPATCHES. 



One Volume. 8vo. 18*.
