Note 30 — Chapter XXX · 1871 DAMASCUS AND RICHARD BURTON

Some idea may be formed of the formidable nature of Abd el Kader’s opposition to the French by the following list of Generals whom he had to meet. Clausel, whom he defeated; Count Vallée, who could only remain on the defensive; Bugeaud, Lamoricière, Cavaignac, Changarnier, Pélissier, Bedeau, St. Arnaud, Bosquet. Besides these, there were the three French Princes, sons of Louis Philippe, the Duc d’Orléans, Duc de Nemours, Duc d’Aumale, and the Duc de Joinville in command of the Fleet. The cost to France in blood and money must have been something huge.
