Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Waterloo Lectures: A Study of the Campaign of 1815 There is a double satisfaction in being called upon so soon for a Second Edition of this work, inasmuch as it is thus shown that the Author´s effort to treat his subject in an impartial spirit has met the approval of his own countrymen, while it ´has done something´ - to use words which come from high authority - ´to heal a soreness which has been kept up among our Waterloo Allies these fifty years, by our arrogating to ourselves the whole credit of the victory for which they bled as well as we.´ It may be added, that although the French reviewers not unnaturally think the view here taken of their great soldier unduly severe, they admit liberally that their gallant army has suffered no injustice. May it not be that much of the deep bitterness with which generations of Frenchmen have viewed their national disaster has been due to the same excess of self-assertion on our part of which the Prussians have complained?
