FORTRAIT OF 



MAJOR-GENERAL SIR CHARLES JAMES NAPIER, 



CONQUEROR OF SCINDE. 



FROM A SKETCH BY MAJOR-GENERAL W. F. P. NAPIER. 



" I must say that, after giving the fullest consideration to those operations, that ) 

 have never known an instance of a general officer who has shewn to a higlier degro 

 than he has done all the requisite qualifications to enable him to conduct great opera- 

 tions. He has manifested the utmost discretion and prudence in the formation of hi 

 plans, the utmost activity in perfecting his preparations to ensure success; and finallj 

 the utmost zeal, gallantry, and science, in currying those plans and preparations int( 

 execution. I must say that the march of General Napier against Einaum Ghur wai 

 one of tlie most extraordinary marches I ever read of; and it was, I must say, mos" 

 completely successful. He marched the army through the desert, with all tiie heavj 

 guns, transporting all his materiel as well, and by this extraordinary march ht 

 deprived the enemy of all means of retreat." — Speech of the Duke of Wellington. 



" The taking of the fort of Eniaum Ghur, was one of the most brilliant affairs evei 

 undertaken and executed." — Speech of the Earl of Ripon. 



" To the example which he set the troops — inspiring an unparalleled confidence ii 

 their commander, — we must mainly attribute the success of the actions of Meeanen 

 and lly(ieY&hsn\."—Sj)eech of Sir Robert Peel.

REMARKS ON IVEZX.ITil.RV I.ATV 



AND THE PUNISHMENT OF FLOGGING. 



BY MAJOR-GENERAL SIR CHARLES JAMES NAPIER, K.C.B. 



" In Scinde he had an opportunity of shewing some of the greatest qualities whicl 

 which could distinguish a military Commander — prompt decision, energy, undaunted 

 bravery, consummate military skill, and, above all, tliat power which particular]} 

 distinguishes superior minds — the power of inspiring into all who served under his 

 command a portion of the same spirit by which he was himself animated." — Speed 

 of Lord HowicJi. 



" He was cognisant of many transactions in which that gallant officer was concerned 

 during the Peninsular war, and his humanity was equal to his gallantry. It was the 

 opinion of the whole army, that to his master-mind was to be attributed that fiua! 

 success." — Speech of General Sir H. Hardbirje. 



" This work, we have several times taken occasion to remark, is far less known thac 

 it deserves to be, especially among the profession. It abounds in lessons of profound 

 wisdom, delivered in the clearest language, and it is as modestly as it is ably written , 

 nor have we often met with a more amusing book. There are to be found in it manj 

 interesting and characteristic anecdotes, and there is a vein of quiet humour that M 

 very diverting, but which interferes not at all with the serious purpose of th{ 

 author, who has left upon every page traces of a benevolent heart and sound in- 

 tellect.'' — Naval and Military Gazette.
