Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the War in the Peninsula, Vol. 1: Under Napoleon, to Which Is Prefixed a View of the Political and Military State of the Four Belligerent Powers In publishing the first part of a work which is far from having received a final revision, I think myself hound to give the Reader some details, in order to meet the reproaches which may possibly he made to it by severe criticism, and to satisfy the wishes of a more friendly interest as to what it contains. When in 1814 my husband returned into the bosom of private life, he conceived the idea of writing the History of the Peninsular War, a war in which he had been engaged for seven years, and the narrative of which, mingled with political considerations, seemed destined to he the commencement of his apprenticeship to a new career. From that moment he devoted himself to it, with that conscientious research and activity of mind which he displayed in every thing he undertook. After collecting numerous materials in France and England, he proceeded to write, uninterruptedly, what I now publish. The first half of the work was revised by himself, rather with a view to improve the arrangement and division of his materials, as is proved by the corrections, which are entirely in his own handwriting,) than to purify the style, a labour which he deferred until a later period. The second half was written over only once; if was his first idea; it was, as it were, an improvisation. In 1817, his bad state of health having compelled him to interrupt his labours, he left the work imperfect and never afterwards revised it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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. 1: From the Year 1807 to the Year 1814 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 contest, 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 be demanded, why thrice-told tale should be renewed? I answer, that two men observing the same object will describe it diversely, according to the point of view from which either beholds it in the eyes of one it shall be a fair prospect, to the other a barren waste, and neither may see aright! Wherefore, truth being the legitimate object of history, it is better that she should be sought for by many than by few, lost for want of seekers, amongst the mists of prejudice and the false lights of interest, she be lost altogether.
