Note 146 — Chapter LXXXIX
Reading edition
"I had my horse killed and fell under it. The brave men who will return from this terrible battle, will, I hope, do me the justice to say, that they saw me on foot with sword in hand during the whole of the evening; and that I only quitted the scene of carnage among the last, and at the moment when retreat could no longer be prevented."—Ney's Letter to the Duke of Otranto.
