Each general has put the seal of his genius on his career, and has given life or death to his army.

From the commencement of his career Bonaparte has developed an ardent character which is irritated by obstacles, and a quickness which forestalls every determination of the enemy.

It is with heavier and heavier blows that, he strikes.

He throws his army on the enemy like an unloosed torrent.

He is all action, and he is so in everything.
