SOME ACCOUNT OF THE PUBLIC LIFE OF THE LATE LIEUTENANT-GENERAL
SIR GEORGE PREVOST, BART.
PARTICULARLY OF HIS SERVICES
IN
THE CANADAS;
INCLUDING
A REPLY TO THE STRICTURES ON HIS MILITARY CHARACTER,
CONTAINED
IN AN ARTICLE IN THE QUARTERLY REVIEW FOR OCTOBER, 1822.
"Either this is envy in you, folly, or mistaking; the very stream of his life, and the business he hath helmed, must upon a warranted need give him a better proclamation. Let him be but testimonied in his own bringings forth, and he shall appear a statesman and a soldier. Therefore you speak unskilfully; or if your knowledge be more, it is much darkened in your malice."
