Wellington : His Comrades and Contemporaries / Major Arthur Griffiths

United Kingdom : George Allen, 1897

370pp.

By the author: "I have devoted principal attention to Wellington in his military aspect, as the most remarkable, but I have not overlooked his great political services. I wished also to present a view of his personal character and show in strong relief his unfailing sense of duty, his uprightness, his directness of purpose, his clear and abiding common sense. This is an age of revivals, and I venture to claim for this memorial, that it is a new move towards strengthening, indeed rehabilitating, Wellington in the esteem of his countrymen."
