Note 16 — Invasion Panics.
Reading edition
“General Dundas is, I understand, appointed commander-in-chief, I should imagine much against the inclination of the king’s ministers; but I understand that it is expected that the Duke of York will be able to resume his situation by the time Sir David is quite superannuated, and it might not be so easy to get a younger or a better man out of office at so early a period.”—Sir A. W. to the Duke of R., 1809.
