This book was released on 2018-01-05 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
