Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Battle of Waterloo A mere memoir of my services might be considered a piece of egotism; yet I feel myself so placed, since the death of the Duke of Wellington, as to wish that my friends may see a sketch or short record of those services. To solve the difficulty of giving such a sketch a general, interest, I have made it a mere introduction in all its parts to the following subjects of the highest military and general interest, viz.:- First, an instance is given, to serve as example in cases of the charge of a small isolated body of infantry by a superior force of cavalry, neither party having support of any kind. Second, some isolated events of interest which took place at the sieges of Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajos. Third, the retreat from the field of battle of Quatre Bras to that of Waterloo.

Download or read book The Political and Military History of the Campaign of Waterloo Classic Reprint written by S. V. Benet and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Political and Military History of the Campaign of Waterloo This volume was the last of a work, published some twelve years since; but as the manuscript of this campaign had unfortunately been mislaid, the editor was compelled to supply its place hastily and somewhat incompletely. Having, by an unforeseen event, recovered the original manuscript, I hasten to restore it in its integrity, with this difference, that I present it in my name, instead of causing the recital to be made by Napoleon. A powerful motive has induced me to act thus, and change the form employed in the rest of the work: it is, that the rapidity of the emperor's fall, and his exile, preventing him from procuring accurate information of what had occurred, not only in his army, but also in that of his adversaries, he had at St. Helena composed narratives, with which a disinterested historian could not entirely concur, so that it would have been necessary to make him utter things, of which he had judged altogether differently. The censures that Napoleon has cast on Ney and Grouchy, and which these have returned with interest, have all, more or less, something specious in them. I have sought to he impartial in presenting them. Napoleon did not always give his orders in an irreproachable manner; these orders were not always well executed or properly interpreted, and his lieutenants knew not how to supply the deficiency in what they had received incompletely and vaguely.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Waterloo Lectures: A Study of the Campaign of 1815 Since the publication of the First Edition, some valuable and wholly original details relating chiefly to the crowning event of the campaign - the Battle of Waterloo itself - have reached the Author, who has felt justified in adding them to this Work, although thereby slightly enlarging its original scope. Some of the numerous kind critics of this work have supposed that these Lectures had been actually delivered before publication. This was not so, how ever. They were not written until the Author had left the Staff College, although they embody the result-s of a study which was carried on there, as it had been begun years before he was connected with that Institution.

Download or read book Wellington and Waterloo Classic Reprint written by G. W. Redway and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wellington and Waterloo Of England's greatest men two only depend for their fame upon their achievements as soldiers, and both were employed in our foreign wars for the maintenance of the balance of power in Europe. We refer, of course, to Marlborough and Wellington. Louis XIV, who died in 1715, and Napoleon I, who was deposed in 1815, were alike in being absolute monarchs of a type that the Western world could not stomach: it became necessary to destroy the armies and fleets which were the instruments of their ambition, and England's then close ties with Germany led to a military partnership; so that Marlborough and Eugene are coupled in the history of the eighteenth as are Wellington and Blucher in that of the nineteenth century. Our present purpose, however, is to treat of Wellington and tell once more the story of Waterloo. The first Duke of Wellington was born Arthur Wellesley in 1769. He lost his father, an Irish peer who was distinguished as a musician, at the age of twelve; and his mother, capable and masterful, brought up five sons and three daughters on an exiguous income. What military education Arthur possessed when commissioned as an ensign had been given him at Angers on the Maine, though at Eton he had learnt to box and play the fiddle.
