Excerpt
From the termination of the campaigns of Marlborough--at which time the British
army won for itself a reputation rivalled by that of no other in Europe--to the
year when the despatch of a small army under Sir Arthur Wellesley marked the
beginning of another series of British victories as brilliant and as unbroken as
those of that great commander, the opinion had gained ground in Europe that the
British had lost their military virtues, and that, although undoubtedly powerful
at sea, they could have henceforth but little influence in European affairs.
