∗ ‘Life of Alexander.’ Sir W. Napier has paid a just tribute to the skill of both generals. Speaking of Alexander’s passage of the Granicus, he says that it cannot “be compared for soldierly skill with his after passage of the Hydaspes, and defeat of Porus. Before that great man he could not play the same daring game.” (‘London and Westminster Review,’ 1838, p. 377.)
