And he was wondrous wise,
He jumped into a quickset hedge
And scratched out both his eyes.”

“In comprehensiveness, breadth, vigour, originality, and penetration, the first place among military historians must be conceded to Napier; and it is now established beyond all dispute, that his historical honesty is equal to his intellectual power and professional erudition. Indeed, the marvel is, that in a work treating of a subject so eminently disputable, and in a manner, too, which could not fail to provoke the bitterest hostility, so little has been challenged; and it is still more wonderful, that of that little, nothing of any importance has been proved to be substantially erroneous.”——Caledonian Mercury.
