Excerpt from Life of the Marquess Wellesley, K. G The little work was extremely well received by the critics and by the public. One writer indeed who has given a volume on the same subject to the Rulers of India, Series, the Rev. Mr. Hutton, paid me the great compliment of declaring that it possessed but one fault it was too short. This is a fault which, in a series such as this, it is difficult to remedy. But the story is at least compact, and whilst it brings out, I venture to believe, the salient points Of the character Of the great man, and indicates his many merits, it makes no attempt to slur over his failings.
