19, 1796).
One of Beaupuy's colleagues, General Duhem, in his account of the battle to the Government, thus expressed himself on General Beaupuy: "Ecrivains patriotes, orateurs chaleureux, je vous propose un noble sujet, l'eloge du General Beaupuy, de Beaupuy, le Nestor et l'Achille de notre armee.

Vous n'avez pas de recherches a faire; interrogez le premier soldat de l'armee du Rhin-et-Moselle, ses larmes exciteront les votres.

Ecrivez alors ce que est vous en dira, et vous peindrez le Bayard de la Republique Francaise." Such bombastic style was then common, but what we have seen of Beaupuy in this sketch shows that he had through his career united Nestor's prudence [B] with Achilles' bodily courage and Bayard's chivalric spirit,--to use the language of the time.
General Moreau had Beaupuy's remains transported to Brisach, where a monument was erected to his memory in 1802, after the peace of Luneville.
In short, Beaupuy seems to have always remained worthy of the high praise bestowed on him by Wordsworth.

His name is to be remembered along with those of the unspotted generals of the first years of the Revolution--Hoche, Marceau, etc .-- before the craving for conquest had developed, and the love of liberty yielded to a fond admiration of Bonaparte as it did in the case of Kleber, Desaix, and so many others.
[C] N.B .-- The great influence which Beaupuy exercised at that time on Wordsworth will be easily understood, if we take into account not only his real qualities, but also his age.

When they met, Wordsworth was only twenty-one, Beaupuy nearly thirty-five.
