PORTRAIT OF 



MAJOR-GENERAL SIR CHARLES JAMES NAPIER, 



CONQUEROR OF SCINDE. 



PROM A SKETCH BT MAJOK-GENERAL SIR V. P. P. NAPIER. 



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

 have never known an instance of a general officer who has shewn to a higher degree 

 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 bis 

 plans, the atmost activity in perfecting his preparations to ensure success ; and finally 

 the utmost zeal, gallantry, and science, in carrying those plans and preparations into 

 execution, I must say that the march of General Napier against Emaum Ghur was 

 one of the most extraordinary marches I ever read of; and it was, I must say, most 

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

 guns, transporting all bis materiel as well, and by this extraordinary march he 

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



" The talking of the fort of Emaum Ghur, was one of the most brilliant affairs ever 

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



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

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

 and Hyderabad."— SpeecA of Sir Robert Peel.

REMARKS ON IVEII.ITAR-S' I.A-W 



AND THE PUNISHMENT OF FLOGGING. 



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



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

 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 many 

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

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

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

 tellect." — Naval and Military Gazette.

FOR THE PRACTICE AND EXPLANATION OF THE 

 "EXERCISE AND EVOLUTIONS OF THE ARMY," 



According to Her Majesty's Regulations ; 

 Arranged for the Company, Battalion, and Light Infantry, 



• - BY MAJOR HOPKINS, K.H. 



" Major Hopkins, of the old 43rd, in which corps he served with distinction, has 

 invented a set of Military Figures^ arranged for the illustration and practice of the evolu- 

 tions of the Infantry, according to Her Majesty's regulations, and exceedingly well 

 calculated to effect their abject. Being adapted to the movements either of the Battalion, 

 Company, or Light Infantry, these Figures, which are accompanied by an Explanatory 

 pamphlet, and are very properly dedicated to Lord Fitzroy Somerset, will be very useful 

 to young officers of the Infantry." — United Service Journal.
