Note 302 — CONCLUSION
Reading edition
Chandos to Jenkins, Oct. 11, st. vet. 1682. The Turk catches the hare with a cart still is a common proverb among the inhabitants of the Near East. It conveys an appreciation of Turkish tactics: slow and blundering in appearance, yet forming parts of a strategic plan, based on the principle that the ultimate outcome of a struggle depends on which side can show the greatest endurance and shall have most reserves when it comes to the final tussle.
