My toast is, a short and violent war. " * Now according to returns in the British Department of States, Howe s army numbered nineteen thousand five hundred effective men, besides officers. Both officers and men were soldiers by profession, selected from the best of the British empire, and the best of the warlike race of Hesse, perfectly equipped. Washington s effective force, * Bancroft, Vol. IX.
BATTLE OF BRANDY WINE. 83 including militia and volunteers, was less than twelve thousand.
" Congre...ss never exacted more from Washington, and never gave him less support ; but he indulged in no com plaint, bearing himself with meekness and dignity, never forgetting the obedience and respect that were due to Congress as his civil superior. Thus he tired out evil tongues and adverse fortune, and saved his country by courage and constancy. He saw that posterity was his own. "* But such were the friends he had at his back, while his face was turned so bravely to their foes.
He never showed himself more fertile in resources than in this campaign ; but it would have required super human genius to overcome the blundering of his general officers Sullivan at the fords of the Brandywine, and Greene at Germantown.
