The younger son, who bore the name of Caillemote, was appointed colonel of one of the Huguenot regiments of foot. The two other regiments of foot were commanded by La Melloniere and Cambon, officers of high reputation. The regiment of horse was raised by Schomberg himself, and bore his name. Ruvigny lived just long enough to see these arrangements complete.425The general to whom the direction of the expedition against Ireland was confided had wonderfully succeeded in obtaining the affection and esteem of the English nation. He had been made a Duke, a Knight of the Garter, and Master of the Ordnance: he was now placed at the head of an army: and yet his elevation excited none of that jealousy which showed itself as often as any mark of royal favour was bestowed on Bentinck, on Zulestein, or on Auverquerque. Schomberg's military skill was universally acknowledged. He was regarded by all Protestants as a confessor who had endured every thing short of martyrdom for the truth. For his religion he had resigned a splendid income, had laid down the truncheon of a Marshal of France, and had, at near eighty years of age, begun the world again as a needy soldier of fortune. As he had no connection with the United Provinces, and had never belonged to the little Court of the Hague, the preference given to him over English captains was justly ascribed, not to national or personal partiality, but to his virtues and his abilities.

成熟自信（中华民族传统美德教育读本）
本丛书筛选内容主要遵循以下原则要求：（1）坚持批判继承思想，取其精华、去其糟粕。既不全盘肯定，也不全盘否定。坚持抽象继承、演绎发展、立足当代、为我所用。（2）坚持系统整体的原则。注意各历史时期分布；注意各民族的进步人物；注意各层面人物；注意人物各侧面。做到：竖看历史五千年，纵向成条线；横看美德重实践，横向不漏面。（3）坚持古为今用，为我所用原则。在发掘美德资源时，特别挖掘古代人物故事、言论，注重寻找挖掘各阶层、各民族的传统公德、通德、同德；注重人民性、民主性、进步性、发展性、普遍性、抽象性，不求全古代，不求全个体。
