Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Achievements of Cavalry
It will be observed that England, Poland, and Russia each furnished the troops for only one of the feats I have selected. Austria two, and France two, while North Germany is credited with five out of the twelve Achievements. This is to be accounted for, so far as our cavalry is concerned, by the fact that though it had many opportunities of achieving suc cess in the Peninsular War, yet the leading of its commanders, being more indicative of courageous hearts than of well-stored minds, was often barren of results.
