Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: . . . BOOK III CHAPTER VIII THE CAMPAIGN OF 1815 I. The operations of the 15th of June--The battles of Ligny and of Quatre Bras. II. Napoleons mistake. III. Marshal Grouchy. IV. Waterloo. Section I The original plan of the campaign of 1815, and even the movements which were its development, rank amongst the finest strategical conceptions of Napoleon. Everything failed owing to defects of execution, some of which may be attributed to the Emperor, a far larger number to his lieutenants. The very first day, Drouet dErlon started marching an hour and a half behind the time appointed; Gerard interpreted the instructions of the Emperor to suit his own convenience; Vandamme broke up his camps three hours after the hour fixed, halted his troops before the end of the fight, and refused to co-operate with Grouchy; Ney suddenly became cautious even to timidity, and did not dare to carry out the manoeuvre with which he was charged. The service of the staff was badly performed, the transmission of orders was slow and uncertain. The chiefs were hesitating and apathetic, without zeal, without initiative, without spirit. They seemed to have lost all faith in the Napoleonic star; they only appeared to wish to advance with measured steps beyond the frontier, as if they felt the grip of the enemys two great hosts already upon them. The all-powerful engine of war, constructed by Napoleon, was apparently worn out, or overstrained. Thus the day of the 15th of June, did not produce the results which might have been anticipated. Had the army marched as the Emperors orders directed, before twelve oclock all the troops would have crossed the Sambre; by three oclock, the Prussians under Pirch II. would have been dislodged from Gilly; in the evening, Grouchy would. . .

This ebook is purpose built and is proof-read and re-type set from the original to provide an outstanding experience of reflowing text for an ebook reader. Waterloo Illustration Pack - 14 maps/battle plans, 18 portraits of the personalities engaged, 10 illustrations. Houssaye's history of the 1815 campaign stands out as perhaps the most complete and least biased French account of the campaign that culminated in the downfall of Napoleon. Filled with detail from numerous French sources and written in a light style, it provides a complete look at the campaign whilst keeping the narrative to a reasonable length. There is also an occasional flash of wit - usually missing from French accounts, substituted instead with accusation and counter accusation - which makes the book a real joy to read. For example, speaking of Grouchy on the morning of the 18th "Grouchy was eating some strawberries (to eat strawberries is not, moreover, a hanging matter, even on a morning of battle)." Henry Houssaye, an esteemed member of the French Institute, wrote a number of works on the Napoleonic period (mainly of the later years of Napoleon), amongst them plays and ancient history. Title - 1815 - Waterloo Author - Henry Houssaye (1848-1911) Translation - S.R. Willis ( ) Text taken, whole and complete, from the edition published in 1905, Kansas, by Franklin Hudson Publishing Co. Original - 268 pages. Illustrations - The original map cannot be provided with this edition due to its A3 size - We have added our Waterloo Illustration pack to ensure that the reader can follow the text.
