Side 254 - Who, if he rise to station of command, Rises by open means ; and there will stand On honourable terms, or else retire, And in himself possess his own desire ; Who comprehends his trust, and to the same Keeps faithful with a singleness of aim...
Side 50 - The Earl of Chatham, with his sword drawn Stood waiting for Sir Richard Strachan ; Sir Richard, longing to be at 'em, Stood waiting for the Earl of Chatham.

The fact might very well be answered thus : He has so often been betrayed by us, He must have been a madman to rely On English Godolphin's fidelity.

Side 163 - Report any other characteristic of the officer which renders him suited or otherwise for the duties of a Staff Officer.
Side 26 - go into battle without subjecting myself to a strict self-examination; when, having, as I humbly hope, made my peace with God, I leave the result in His hands, with perfect confidence that He will determine what is best for me.
Side 223 - ... changes in the distribution of duties among the Headquarters of my Army are desirable. These alterations cannot be effected without reconstituting the particular duties assigned to the Commander-in-Chief, and therefore, though with much pain, I have arrived at the decision that, for your own sake as well as in the public interest, it is inexpedient that you should much longer retain that position, from which I think you should be relieved at the close of your Autumn duties.
Side 170 - House no scheme for military reorganization can be regarded as complete which does not alter the tenure of the Command-in-Chief in such a manner as to enable the Secretary of State for War to avail himself freely of the best administrative talent and the most recent military experience from time to time existing in the British army.
