Summary: "Maxims and Opinions of Field-Marshal His Grace the Duke of Wellington, Selected from His Writings and Speeches during a Public Life of More Than Half a Century" is a collection of political thoughts and principles authored by George Henry Francis, published in the mid-19th century. The work aims to shed light on the Duke of Wellington's insights as a statesman and politician, distinct from his well-documented military achievements. This volume not only compiles the Duke's reflections on various crucial issues but also attempts to convey a nuanced understanding of his career beyond the battlefield. The opening of this work provides a thorough introduction to the Duke of Wellington, detailing his early life and ascent through military ranks to become a renowned leader. With a focus on his role in British politics and public service, the text explains that while many biographies highlight his military exploits, this collection seeks to emphasize his political views and maxims on governance and public policy. Wellington's character and principles are framed through his actions and decisions in both military and civilian spheres, suggesting a complex figure whose legacy extends beyond mere military fame.
