" As a youth in Spain he had studied for the bar at the University of Salamanca ; and in some of his speeches on critical occasions one can find certain traces of his academical training in the adroit arguments and clever appeals. Other qualifications as an officer were his manly and handsome appearance, his affable manners, combined with "extraordinary address in all mar- tial exercises, and a constitution of such vigor as to be capable of enduring any fatigue.
