Excerpt from Speeches in Parliament, of the Right Honourable William Windham, Vol. 3 of 3: To Which Is Prefixed, Some Account of His Life
IN pursuance of my notice on Friday last, I rise to move that the thanks of this house be given to Major General Sir John Stuart, and to the officers and men who served under him in the glorious battle of Maida. In saying this, I conceive, indeed, I have said all that is strictly necessary, in order to carry with me the unani mous concurrence of the house; and so lively, so pro per, and so general a feeling has manifested itself on this subject throughout the country, that I feel assured the motion will be received, not only with unanimity in parliament, but with marked and complete approbation from all Englishmen.
