Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Arthur Duke of Wellington Wellesley being consulted as to the measures best adapted to restrain or repel the invasion, says, The art of crossing rivers is now so well understood, and has been so frequently practised, and so invariably, I believe, with success in the late wars of Europe, that we cannot hope to defend the Indus as a bar rier. It is true that the enemy will not be in possession of the resources and means which they could apply to such an operation on a river in Italy or in Germany, but they will experience no want of such resources as that country will afford; and I have made as good a bridge with the basket-boats (which are described in Caesar, and are in use all over India, the materials for which are to be found everywhere), as I could have made of the best pontoons.

That story, whose second edition was dedicated (by a characteristic half-granted permission) to the duke, opens in May 1813, and it brings us, later in that year, to a direct impression of Wellington. The great duke is there sketched from the life and without any fictive colours by the subaltern, who was G. R. Gleig himself. The background is Spain, the hill foreground the top of the Quatracone. which the battalion has just reached, when four mounted officers appear, one of them riding a little ahead of the rest. "He who rode in front," says the autobiographical novelist and chronicler, "was a thin, well-made man, apparently of the middle stature, and not yet past the prime of life. His dress was a plain grey frock, buttoned close to the chin; a cocked hat. covered with oilskin; grey pantaloons, with boots buckled at the side; and a steel-mounted light sabre. Though I knew not who he was, there was a brightness in his eye which bespoke him something more than an aide-de-camp or a general of brigade; nor was I long left in doubt. There were in the ranks many veterans who had served in the Peninsula during some of the earlier campaigns; these instantly recognised their old leader, and the cry of 'Duro, Duro!' the familiar title given by the soldiers to the Duke of Wellington, was raised. This was followed by reiterated shouts, to which he replied by taking off his hat and bowing, when, after commending the appearance of the corps, and chatting for a moment with the commanding officer, he advised that a halt should take place where we were, and rode on.
