Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cambridge Modern History, Vol. 9: Napoleon To all our contributors, especially to those foreign writers of distinction whose aid we have been fortunate enough to obtain, we express our hearty thanks. To them and to our readers we owe an apology for the delay in the appearance of this volume; but we need not enumerate the unexpected difficulties to which that delay has been due. We desire to express our gratitude to the right-hon. Sir A. C. Lyall, and to Sir Charles Lyall, for assistance kindly rendered in regard to Indian words and some facts of Indian history. The system adopted in the spelling and accentuation of Indian names is based on that of Sir William Hunter, but modified in the case of certain forms on which use and convention seem to have conferred a prescriptive right. We are also grateful to Dr Charles Schmidt for a valuable note on the contents of the National Archives in Paris; and to Professor Pariset for most kindly revising the entries of the French books in the copious bibliographies. The next volume to be published (vol. Iv) is far advanced, and will, it is hoped, appear in the course of the next four months.
