Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of France: From Cæsar's Invasion to the Battle of Waterloo Of course, my little book is far from complete - partly on purpose; I have some qualms about a chapter on philippe-le-bel which I deliberately sacrificed because he seemed to me too prominent a personage to stand so far back. I have tried above all for unity, and to give a complete impression - the distance left in mass while the figures nearer our own times stand out in fuller relief. So far as it goes, I hope it is accurate. The picture might be better, yet the painter has taken great pains, out of love and infinite respect for her two countries, the two great countries of Europe.

This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Political and Military History of the Campaign of Waterloo This volume was the last of a work, published some twelve years since; but as the manuscript of this campaign had unfortunately been mislaid, the editor was compelled to supply its place hastily and somewhat incompletely. Having, by an unforeseen event, recovered the original manuscript, I hasten to restore it in its integrity, with this difference, that I present it in my name, instead of causing the recital to be made by Napoleon. A powerful motive has induced me to act thus, and change the form employed in the rest of the work: it is, that the rapidity of the emperor's fall, and his exile, preventing him from procuring accurate information of what had occurred, not only in his army, but also in that of his adversaries, he had at St. Helena composed narratives, with which a disinterested historian could not entirely concur, so that it would have been necessary to make him utter things, of which he had judged altogether differently. The censures that Napoleon has cast on Ney and Grouchy, and which these have returned with interest, have all, more or less, something specious in them. I have sought to he impartial in presenting them. Napoleon did not always give his orders in an irreproachable manner; these orders were not always well executed or properly interpreted, and his lieutenants knew not how to supply the deficiency in what they had received incompletely and vaguely.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paris After Waterloo: Notes Taken at the Time and Hitherto Unpublished, Including A; Revised Edition the Tenth of a Visit to Flanders and the Field "A Visit to Flanders and the Field of Waterloo," published alone, in 1815, formed a part only of notes, taken by the author, on his whole sojourn in Belgium and France. Looking over the hitherto unpublished portion, which for thirty-seven years has reposed in a dusty comer, and finding much which he himself had forgotten, but which narrates events and describes scenes which he thinks might be interesting, as they would probably.be new, to his younger countrymen, - especially at the present moment that a recent loss has recalled the public attention to the marvels of days past, - he has ventured to bring it out. The history of Waterloo, no doubt, has been written by many others since his own slight sketch of it appeared. But his being rather a picture than a detailed narrative - true, however, so far as it goes - the readers of the new portion, he thinks, may like to see the old; and he has given it the place it originally held in the journal which he kept at the time.

However, favoritism always has existed, and doubt less, always will. I shall endeavour, therefore, in the following pages, simply to place on record some of the exploits of the regiment in which I served, as well as of some others with whom we occasionally cc-operated but who, like ourselves, had not the honour to' be noticed in dispatches, for the reasons I have before stated.

This book was released on 2018-01-21 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conscript of 1813 and Waterloo Alsace, and perhaps their descriptions Of the beauties of that really charming country are somewhat idealised. They lived in the days of rich living, when rich living could be Obtained. The voice of the teetotaler had not been heard in the land, neither had that of the apostles Of the simple life, if we except the sturdy Capuchin who wrought such havoc at the Inn of the Ham of Mainz. But that does not belong to this book. We take for our guide good old Father Goulden, who, looking through his big spectacles from his Shop window at Phalsbourg, relates the history of Europe as he saw and read it, in those stirring times when Wordsworth sang of the joy of being alive - and young. We who have lived a little longer have seen the fruits Of many of the seeds sown in those vivacious years. Some are good and some are evil, after the manner of all human and transitory actions. But Father Goulden, if rather too enthusiastic for the cause he had had at heart, was a just man, and admitted the faults Of his early idols. Joseph Bertha, the domesticated young man with a good heart and a bit Of a limp, tells us of the terrible campaign of 1813. In his mouth is placed the military part of the story, and in Father Goulden's the political. We rejoice over the sweet womanliness of the young man's wife, and smile at the vehemence of Aunt Grethel. She would worship Napoleon to-day, and, if it appeared to suit her peace of mind, she was equally ready to do homage to the Bourbons and to, attend the masses of expiation for Cadoudal and his colleagues. The plot is correct and well conceived. The military portion of the books is excellent if we take the point of view that the Observations are those of a young conscript, who hears more than he sees. The charm of the authors will never fade. Day by day we perceive the fact that their more serious books are by no means tales of adventure after the manner of Peter Simple, but a unique and truly French mixture of realism and thrifty love. Tolstoy could hardly do more to enhance the cause of peace than do the present works. They have been re garded as books for boys, but there is that in them which the serious student of history can ill afford to miss. The intense patriotism of the Alsatians is one of the outstanding features of modern European history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from France, Mediaeval and Modern: A History The history of France from the Norman Conquest to the battle of Waterloo is to some extent the history of the rivalry of the English and French monarchies, though from the death of Henry II of France in 1559 to the opening of the war of the League of Augsburg in 1689, the two countries were for the most part at peace. From the accession of Charles of Spain to the Imperial throne as the Emperor Charles V to the present day - with the exception of the period from the opening of the Seven Years' War to the outbreak of the Revolution - France has always regarded the leading Power in Germany, whether Austria or, since 1866, Prussia, with suspicion if not with actual animosity. In both cases she has had justification. The possessions of England in France down even to the reign of the English Queen Mary were a sufficient cause for exasperation, and after 1688 the colonial rivalry of the two Powers rendered hostilities frequent. Then shortly after the accession of the Emperor Charles V projects arose for the partition of France between him and Henry VIII, while during the Religious Wars in France the continued hostility of the Habsburg lirie in Spain, followed by the attempt of the Emperor in the Thirty Years' War to subject Europe to his sway, necessarily called forth the fiercest opposition in France. Till 1756 the two countries were frequently at war, and after the outbreak of hostilities in 1792 the French Government endeavoured to crush Austria - a policy pursued by Napoleon with consider able success.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Waterloo: Complete in One Volume My overtures were favourably received, and I was as sured the lady's heart was mine. Every preliminary for my marriage was nearly completed, when another suitor, unexpectedly, addressed my mistress. In age he was my senior by twenty years, in fortune he exceeded me by one hundred thousand pou'nds. I despised him: he was ugly I was handsome. At the next ball, however, my mis tress cut me dead, and on the second morning after it she married my ill-looking rival. I left England in disgust, and became a woman-hater and a wanderer. I had passed three weeks miserably enough in a French fishing town. How I managed to consume so much time there, was to me a subject of surprise. All my resources were at length exhausted, and to remain, even for another day, was impossible but where to go, whither to bend my course there lay the puzzle.
