Look on This Picture and on That “All’s fair in lov€ and war,” is a common but, it is to be hoped, not wholly true saying; otherwise some of the meanest acts would be excused. Napoleon was not above the paltriest deeds. At the battle of Dresden, in ISIS; he noticed that a group of officers had ridden within gunfire, and had his artillery send a shower of shot amongst them. “There are,” he*said, “perhaps some little generals in their midst”—in the Emperor’s mind he was the only great general. A gun was discharged at the group, and Moreau, a famous French soldier w'ho had joined the Allies, and who was almost as fine a general as Napoleon, was fatally injured. Curiously enough, in the course of the battle of Waterloo (1815), a colonel in command of a battery of British artillery reported to Wellington that he had the range of the spot where Napoleon and his staff were standing, and asked if he might pick some of them off. “Not at all,” replied the Iron Duke, “generals-in-chief have something else to do in battle than fire at each other.”
