Some Account of the Public Life of the Late Lieutenant-General Sir George Prevost, Bart. / Particularly of His Services in the Canadas, Including a Reply to the Strictures on His Military Character, Contained in an Article in the Quarterly Review

A detailed defense of the late Lieutenant-General Sir George Prevost, tracing his family background and early military service, recounting colonial and North American campaigns, and responding point-by-point to criticisms published in a prominent periodical. The author reconstructs Prevost's career to argue that assessments of his command were premature or ill-founded, offers documentary and contextual evidence to explain decisions made during the defense of the Canadas, and seeks to restore his reputation by rebutting alleged misrepresentations while outlining the duties, difficulties, and judgments faced by commanders in the field.
