A noted author, artist, soldier and diplomat, he was born into a military family in Durham. After developing a reputation for his painting, he travelled extensively in Northern Europe, before accepting commissions for historical paintings from the Tzar of Russia in 1805. He travelled on to Sweden where he met Sir John Moore. Sir John found him congenial company and invited him to accompany the expedition to Spain that he was to lead. Having cultivated significant contacts and friends in Russia - not least of which the Czar himself - Sir Robert’s seemingly endless travels brought him to St. Petersburg in 1811, marrying into the Russian nobility in 1812. Thus placed when Napoleon’s juggernaut attacked in that year, he accompanied the Tzar’s headquarters and wrote of his experiences in this book, which was published soon after the conclusion of the campaign. His writing is important for giving detail on the movements and thinking of the Russian leaders throughout the campaign, and his narration of the events is clear and distinctive. He also had an artist’s eye for graphic details of the fighting and the panoramic expanse of the ground that the campaign was fought over. Author — Porter, Robert Ker, Sir, 1777-1842. Text taken, whole and complete, from the edition published in London, Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, 1814. Original Page Count – viii, 419 p.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Narrative of the Campaign in Russia, During the Year 1812 And during the whole period the face of Europe never ceased being deluged with blood. Austria, 'who had neglected the past favourable moment to defend herb rights, was at last aroused; and be came involved, and alone too, in a desperate and unsuccessful contest with Napoleon. Spain burst forth against the tyrant, with the spirit of her an cestors. And England (however those at times in power may have committed political err01s) con tinued, in principle, true to the grand cause by feeding the flame in the peninsula; and thus kept tip that fire with which the far-spreading torch of the North now lights the rest of Europe to Eman cipation and Peace. The negative kind of amity, a body without a soul, which the Treaty of Tilsit established be tween the Empires of Russia and France, (and which endured little more than four years) gave time and occasion to Alexander to be fully aware of the ultimate views of his Gallic friend who lost not an opportunity of endeavouring by every species of intrigue to pave the'way for an easy conquest over the arms and allegiance of the sub jects'ot' his august and honourable ally.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative of Events During the Invasion of Russia by Napoleon Bonaparte, and the Retreat of the French Army, 1812 Among these considerations a principal one was that he had been in close personal intimacy with the Emperor Alexander, highly trusted and honoured by him. The disclosure of facts and Opinions to which he could only have access through this confidence of a generous friendship would have prejudicially affected the relations of the Emperor with his great nobility and, moreover, it would have given pain to some with whom he had himself relations of attachment and esteem formed by the fellowship of danger among the moving scenes of military service.
