Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the War in the Peninsula and in the South of France, From the Year 1807 to the Year 1814, Vol. 1 For six years the Peninsula was devastated by the war of independence. The blood of France, Germany, England, Portugal, and Spain, was shed in the con test; and in each of those countries, authors, desirous of recording the sufferings, or celebrating the valour of their countrymen, have written largely touching that fierce struggle. It may therefore happen that some will demand, Why I should again relate a thrice-told tale? I, answer, that two men observing the same object, will describe it diversely, following the point of view from which either beholds it. That which in the eyes of one is a fair prospect, to the other shall appear a barren waste, and yet neither may see aright. Wherefore, truth being the legitimate object of history, I hold it better that she should be sought for by many than by few, lest, for want of seekers, amongst the mists of prejudice and the false lights of interest, she be lost altogether.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the War in the Peninsula, Vol. 1 of 4: And in the South of France, From the Year 1807 to the Year 1814 Military operations are so dependent upon accidental circum stances, that, to justify censure, it should always be shown that an unsuccessful general has violated the received maxims and established principles of war. By that rule I have been guided, but, to preserve the narratives unbroken, my own observations are placed at the end of certain transactions of magnitude, where, the real source being known, they will pass for as much as they are worth, and no more: when they are not well supported by argument, I freely surrender them to the judgment of abler men.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the War in the Peninsula and in the South of France, Vol. 6 of 6: From the Year 1807 to the Year 1814 To nourish their own armies and circumvent their adversaries in that respect were the objects of both generals. Soult aimed to make Wellington retire into Spain, Wellington to make Soult abandon Bayonne, or so reduce his force that the entrenched camp might be stormed. The French general's recent losses forbad extended positions except during the wet season - three days' fine weather made him tremble-and his camp was still too unfinished for a small force. The bad roads and want of transport threw his army upon water carriage for subsistence, and his great magazines were there fore established at Dax on the Adour and at Peyrehorade on the Gave of Pan, the latter being twenty-four miles from Bayonne. These places he fortified to resist sudden incursions, and he threw a bridge across the Adour at the port of Landes, just above its con uence with the Gave de Pau. But the navi gation of the Adour below that point, especially at Urt, the stream being confined there, could be interrupted by the allies who were now on the left bank 3 whereupon he ordered Foy to pass the Adour at Urt and construct a fortified bridge. Wellington menaced Foy with a superior force, he re crossed the river, and the navigation was then carried on at night by stealth, or guarded by the French gun-boats and exposed to the fire of the allies 3 provisions became scarce and the supply would have failed, if the French coasting-trade, now revived between Bordeaux and Bayonne, had been inter rupted by the navy, but this was still unheeded.
