It is very true that I have said that I considered Napoleon's
presence in the field equal to forty thousand men in the balance.
This is a very loose way of talking; but the idea is a very
different one from that of his presence at a battle being equal
to a reinforcement of forty thousand men.
- Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington,
