A Soldier
The London Times, referring to
L-e*s incomparable strategy, said.
"No on- , certainly since Nap?>!ei.r.,
has conquered against such immense
odds."
CoL Henderson, an eminent English
military authority, says: "The
victory of Chancellors*vile, in which
Lee. with 62.000 nun. 170 guns,
completely routed Hooker on his own
ground, with 130,00 m? n. and 4I>

"Miade, years ave telling on you:

"It is not the work uf years;

r. C'harl - Franc is Adams says: "As
a leader he condueted operations, on
the highest plane. Whether acting
on the del'enisve upon the s>il of h"s
native state, or leaning his at my into;
the enemy's .. untry. he was humane,
self-retsraincd and strictly observant
o fthe most a ivanced rules of civil
izctl warfare. He respected the noncombatant
; nor did he ever permit
the wanton deduction of private
r**< nerty."
Fiij.ti.ry'% Verdict Concerning Lee ai
A Man
Volumes could be written on this
subject. In the limited space at har.d
we quote just a few paragraphs from
the most unbiased sources:
"Essentially a man of character,"
is the terse way Charles Francis Adams
puts it.
The New York Herald said: "Never
had mother a nobler son. In hint I
the military genius of America was!
deevloped to a greater extent than
ever before. In him all that was pure
and lofty in mind and purpose found
lodgement. He came nearer the ideal
of a soldier and Christian general
than any man can think of, for he
was a greater osldier than Havelock,
and equally as devout a Christian.
Displaying neither bitterness r<?r regret
over the irrevocable pant., ho
conquered us in misfortune by the
grand manner in which he sustained
himself, even as he dazzled us by his
genius when the tramp of his soldiers
resounded through the valleys of j
Virginia."
Professor c Gorge Long, a distin-,
guisht-d scholar of England, wrote'
to a friend in Virginia: "If I were
not detained here by circunvtances,
I would cross the Atlantic to see the1
first and noblest man of our day." j

The Lord- r Standard, ann ~ng
the death of Lee, said:
"Truer greatness, a lofti?r nature,
a spirit more unselfish, a character
purer, more chivalrous, th world has
rarely ever known. Of stainless hue
and deep religious feeling, yet free
from all taint of cant an ' fanat ism.
