Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of General Sir Charles Napier His character was essentially of the heroic type. He exercised a fascination over the popular mind which was, perhaps. Out of proportion to anything which Fortune allowed him to accomplish. He occupied a place apart, and would have seemed in some respects hardly to belong to the age in which he lived, had it not been that he inspired the people wherever he went with the belief that, whatever his differences with men in power, he was moved by the most intense devotion to themselves and to the cause of every one who was poor or oppressed.
