On the other hand the work is no less to be admired in little than in great: for I find as well in little as in great a kind of infinite that astonishes me.

These, the veteran wooer attempts to carry by storm at once, seeing through their utter transparency: to the unpractised Damon, however, they assume the proportions of an organised defence.
Nevertheless, having in view the superiority of numbers, of equipment, and of discipline, and the command of the water, the mere existence of the enemy's army as an organised body, its mere escape, deprives the campaign of the claim to be considered successful. The red ribbon of the Bath probably never was earned more cheaply than by Sir William Howe that year.
