— ^The papers published by Moore's femiily prove that he repelled Mr. Frere's arrogance with calm dignity, did not follow his plans, and changed his own because fresh events called for change. His irresolution in council exists in M. Thiers' imagination, — ^nowhere else. Those who knew sir John Moore will laugh at such a silly assertion. M. Thiers has not been so remarkable for political resolution himself as to give him a right to censure others. In what council known to him did sir John Moore... display irresolution 1 Those who have read that general's journals know of several held with Mr. Pitt, lord Melville, and others, wherein his ability, imhesi- tating vigour^ and readiness to undertake what he advised, the sure sign of resolution, were signally manifested.
