Memoir of the Life and Military Services of Viscount Lake

This record of Lord Lake's life and services has been written in the hope of rescuing from an undeserved oblivion the memory of the soldier who earned from Wellesley so glowing an eulogium; of describing, though inadequately, the methods and achievements of a commander who has rarely been excelled on the battle-field and of recalling to his countrymen the char acter of a man who had many great and no ignoble qualities, who was an honourable and disinterested English gentleman, and who played no small part in the creation of our Indian Empire.
