PORTRAIT 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 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 his 

 plans, the utmost 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 his materiel as well, and by this extraordinary march he 

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



'* The taking of the fort of Emaum Ghur, was one of the most brilliant affairs ever 

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



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

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

 and Hyderabad."— Speech of Sir Robert Peel.

REMARKS ON MILITARY LAW 

 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 which 

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

 bravery, consummate military skill, and, above all, that power which particularly 

 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." — Speech 

 of Lord Howick. 



" 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 final 

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



" 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.
