Excerpt from History of the British Expedition to Egypt, Vol. 1: To Which Is Subjoined, a Sketch of the Present State of That Country and Its Means of Defence, Illustrated With Maps, and a Portrait of Sir Ralph Abercromby
When your Royal Highness assumed the command, abuses had disordered the service. Your judicious regulations, impartially executed, instantly checked their pernicious influence, and soon recovered to the profession that respect which for a time had been denied, finally establishing it on the basis of honour, emulation, and merit.
This language. Sir, strictly represents the general sentiment of your country, whose honest eulogies must be much more gratifying than all the panegyrics which adulation could indite.
