Excerpt from A Brief Review of the Career, Character Campaigns of Zachary Taylor In both these battles, the first and the last, the smallest and the greatest, fought by Tay lor, he displayed precisely the same qualities - calm fortitude, perfect equanimity, constant presence of mind, great caution, unconquerable res'olution, and the secret power Of imbu ing his followers with his own courage - which made both, though fought under desper ate circumstances, victories.

Diverse, united and co - operating with them, under other circumstances, which combine to form the elements of a great character, equally adapted to the successful rule of an army and the administration of a State.
