liumility, of confidence and modesty. Like other distinguished German heroes, his views were formed more from observation than from books ; but his regard for literary attainments in others was consequently still more to be admired. He never appeared to greater advantage than when he appealed for informa- tion on points where he was at fault, or frankly confessed any deficiency in knowledge. He had not the rapid apprehension, the sparkling wit, or the sarcastic vein which belonged to many... commanders of the time, and which made them unpopular in society.

Many in maturer life had sought by force of natural acuteness to repair the deficiencies of early systematic culture.
Others had attended the universities, but had sufl?ered the military ardour of the period to break off their half-completed studies ; an imperious tone on subjects which ought to be discussed with inquiring reserve prevailed especially in the unhappy year 1 806.
