Note 221 — SECTION XXXII: CHAPTER II

I fancy that Wellington’s erroneous statement that Marmont had six divisions collected at Salamanca on the 23rd-24th [misprinted by Gurwood, Dispatches, viii. p. 577, as ‘the 6th Division!’] was Napier’s source for stating that such a force was assembled, which it certainly was not, Wellington reckoned that Marmont had Souham, Clausel, Maucune, Thiébault, and two divisions from the East, which last had not really come up—and never were to do so.
