He never appeared to greater advantage than when he appealed for informa- tion on points where he was at fault, or frankly confessed any deficiency in knowledge. He had not the rapid apprehension, the sparkling wit, or the sarcastic vein which belonged to many... commanders of the time, and which made them unpopular in society.
