Excerpt from A Poem on the Battle of Waterloo The brilliant talents which have been displayed in the exalted situation of Commander-in-chief, Britain, Europe, and the world have long admired; and it is presumed, that succeeding generations will hail with patriotic ardour the anniversary of that day on which your Royal Highness was appointed to the chief command. The army flourishes unrivalled in the annals of war; a correct history of its progressive improvement would be the highest panegyric that could possibly be paid to the illustrious head of this incomparable body of heroes!
