FOOTNOTES:

[1] Since colonel and surveyor-general of South Australia.

[2] The present major-general sir George Napier.

[3] A splendid soldier.

[4] A false stopping here misled me about the bridge. I made the allies pass by ladders instead of the French.

[5] Since the first publication of this Letter I have learned from excellent authority that marshal Beresford did actually in person order general sir Colin Halket to retreat from the bridge, and rebuked him for being slow to obey.

[6] I have since obtained from other sources many of those orders of movements signed, George Murray, and addressed to the generals commanding divisions. Had they been given to me according to the duke of Wellington’s desire when I first commenced my Work they would have saved me much time much expense and much labour; but I repeat that from sir George Murray and from him only I have met with hostility. He has not been able to hurt me but I take the will for the deed.

[7] Above five thousand pounds.

[8] Since this was written Mr. Leader did put the question in the house when sir George Murray’s conduct was strongly animadverted upon by lord Howick and his lordship’s observations were loudly cheered. Sir George is now publishing these maps, but they belong to the public.

[9] Another has appeared since but I have not read it being informed that it was precisely like its predecessors.

[10] This work has been since discontinued by lieutenant Godwin in consequence as he told me of foul play in a high quarter where he least expected it.

[11] That very successful Spanish general and very temperate English politician, sir De Lacy Evans, pronounces all such animadversions upon the Spanish armies to be “_a most deplorable defect in a historian, and the result of violent partialities_.” I dare to say the Spaniards will agree with him.

[12] This was in February.

[13] Called the Extraordinary Cortez.

Thomas Lawrence that during his life he never could be persuaded
to part with it, and from it he commenced all his pictures of the
Duke. After his decease, it was sold with his other Drawings, and

REMARKS ON MILITARY LAW

BY
MAJOR-GENERAL SIR CHARLES JAMES NAPIER, K.C.B.

“Every newspaper puts forth its attacks upon Commanders of
Regiments, filled with unjust and false assertions. I have
endeavoured, perhaps erroneously and unsuccessfully, to clear
the question from the rubbish with which it has been loaded, and
exhibit it to the view in its general bearings. In the performance
of this task, I am not conscious of any influence but that of the
desire to speak the truth.”—_Vide Preface._

to the authorities who have the destiny of the army in their hands,
an attentive perusal of this work. The public will learn from it
that the army in Prussia, hitherto supposed to be the worst paid

best paid army in Europe_.’”—_United Service Journal._

“This is an admirable little book.”—_True Sun._

“The excellent instructions laid down by Mrs. Napier will, we have
no doubt, prove a ‘rich legacy,’ not only to her own children, but
to those in many a nursery.”—_Liverpool Chronicle._

“Not only the nursery governess, but the mother and daughter,
especially in the higher walks of life, may read it with
advantage.”—_Atlas._

“We are so convinced of its utility, that we would strongly
recommend it to the diligent study of every female who has the care
of a family, either as a mother or a governess.”—_Sun._

ADMIRAL NAPIER’S
ACCOUNT OF THE WAR IN PORTUGAL,

BETWEEN
DON PEDRO AND DON MIGUEL;

WITH
PLAN OF HIS ACTIONS OFF CAPE ST. VINCENT.

“An excellent and spirit-stirring book—plain, honest, and
straight-forward—the very stuff of which the web of history alone
should be composed. This is indeed an honest, fair, and impartial
history.”—_Morning Chronicle._

“In spirit and in keeping, from beginning to end, Admiral Napier’s
‘War in Portugal,’ is the happiest picture we could conceive of the
hero of the battle off Cape St. Vincent—its especial excellence
consisting in a regardless bluntness of manner and language that is
quite admirable and delightful.”—_Monthly Review._

“It is Cæsar’s Commentaries in the first person.”—_Spectator._

“Candid to a degree, and sincere as a sailor’s will. This is the
very stuff of which history should be composed.”—_Bell’s Messenger._

“If Admiral Napier be not distinguished by the common-place
facilities of authorship, he possesses the higher qualities
of truth, discretion, and clear-sightedness, in no slight
degree.”—_Atlas._

“In speaking of himself and his deeds, he has hit the just and
difficult medium—shewing his real feelings, yet steering clear of
affected modesty on the one hand, and of overweening modesty on the
other.”—_Tait’s Magazine._

“This is a very graphic account of the affairs in which the gallant
author figured so nobly, and added fresh lustre to the name of
Napier.”—_News._

THE SECOND EDITION of

ADVENTURES IN THE RIFLE BRIGADE
IN THE
PENINSULA, FRANCE, AND THE NETHERLANDS,

From the Year 1809 to 1815.

By CAPTAIN JOHN KINCAID, FIRST BATTALION.

One vol. post 8vo. price 10s. 6d. boards.

“An admirable little book.”—_Quarterly Review._

“To those who are unacquainted with John Kincaid of the Rifles,—and
few, we trow, of the old Peninsula bands are in this ignorant
predicament, and to those who know him, we equally recommend the
perusal of his book: it is a fac-simile of the man,—a perfect
reflection of his image, _veluti in speculo_. A capital soldier, a
pithy and graphic narrator, and a fellow of infinite jest. Captain
Kincaid has given us, in this modest volume, the impress of his
qualities, the _beau ideal_ of a thorough-going Soldier of Service,
and the faithful and witty history of some six years’ honest and
triumphant fighting.

“There is nothing extant in a Soldier’s Journal, which, with
so little pretension, paints with such truth and raciness the
‘domestic economy’ of campaigning, and the downright business of
handling the enemy.

“But we cannot follow further;—recommending every one of our
readers to pursue the Author himself to his crowning scene of
Waterloo, where they will find him as quaint and original as at his
_debut_. We assure them, it is not possible, by isolated extracts,
to give a suitable impression of the spirit and originality
which never flag from beginning to end of Captain Kincaid’s
volume; in every page of which he throws out flashes of native
humour, a tithe of which would make the fortune of a Grub-street
Bookmaker.”—_United Service Journal._

“His book has one fault, the rarest fault in books, it is too
short.”—_Monthly Magazine, April._

Also, by the same Author, in one vol. post 8vo. price 10s. 6d.

RANDOM SHOTS
FROM A RIFLEMAN.

“It is one of the most pithy, witty, soldier-like, and pleasant
books in existence.”—_United Service Journal._

“The present volume is to the full as pleasant, and what is still
more strange, as _original_ as the last. Criticism would become a
sinecure if many such volumes were written: all left for us is to
admire and recommend.”—_New Monthly Magazine._

“The present volume is likely to add to his reputation. It
is a useful appendix to the larger works of Napier and other
military commentators. It is never dull, tedious, technical, or
intricate.”—_Times._

“Those who have read Captain Kincaid’s Adventures in the Rifle
Brigade will seize this volume with avidity, and having dashed
through it, will lay it down with only one feeling of regret—that
it is not longer.”—_News._

In post 8vo. price 5s.

RECOLLECTIONS AND REFLECTIONS

RELATIVE TO THE
DUTIES OF TROOPS COMPOSING THE ADVANCED CORPS OF THE ARMY,

BY LIEUTENANT-COLONEL I. LEACH, C.B.

Late of the Rifle Brigade.
Author of “Rough Sketches of the Life of an Old Soldier.”

MEMOIR BY
GENERAL SIR HEW DALRYMPLE, BART.

OF HIS
PROCEEDINGS AS CONNECTED WITH THE AFFAIRS OF SPAIN,
AND THE
COMMENCEMENT OF THE PENINSULAR WAR.

In one vol. post 8vo. price 9s. boards.

“The care bestowed upon this subject by Sir Hew Dalrymple is
evident in the publication before us, which is unquestionably the
most dignified, clear, and satisfactory vindication of Sir Hew’s
motives and conduct, and forms, with the documents in the Appendix,
a very valuable and authentic addition to the materials for the
history of the period in question. Without a participation in the
facts it discloses, the records of the war, as far as regards this
particular subject, are, in fact, incomplete or distorted.”—_United
Service Journal._

SKETCHES IN SPAIN,

DURING THE YEARS 1829-30-31 AND 32;

CONTAINING NOTICES OF SOME DISTRICTS VERY LITTLE KNOWN;
OF THE MANNERS OF THE PEOPLE, GOVERNMENT, RECENT CHANGE,
COMMERCE, NATURAL HISTORY, AND FINE ARTS;

_With Lives of Spanish Painters_.

BY CAPTAIN S. E. COOK, R.N., K.T.S., F.G.S.

Two volumes, 8vo. price 21s.

This work contains a very full account of the present seat of War
in Spain.

“Volumes of great value and attraction: we would say, in a word,
they afford us the most complete account of Spain in every respect
which has issued from the press.”—_Literary Gazette._

“The value of the book is in its matter and its facts. If written
upon any country it would have been useful, but treating of one
like Spain, about which we know almost nothing, but of which it
is desirable to know so much, Captain Cook’s Sketches must be
considered an acquisition to the library.”—_Spectator._

“These volumes comprise every point worthy of notice, and the whole
is so interspersed with lively adventure and description; so imbued
with a kindly spirit of good nature, courting and acknowledging
attention, as to render it attractive reading.”—_United Service
Gazette._

“No one could either pretend to write or converse upon this subject
without preparing himself by a previous perusal of this instructive
work.”—_Metropolitan._

AN ESSAY ON THE PRINCIPLES AND CONSTRUCTION OF
MILITARY BRIDGES,

_And the Passage of Rivers in Military Operations_.

BY GENERAL SIR HOWARD DOUGLAS, BART. K.S.C. &c. &c.

The Second Edition, containing much additional Matter and Plates,
8vo. price 20s. boards.

“Of this valuable work we expressed a very high opinion when it
was first published; and now that the able author has added much
important new matter to it, we need only say that it is worthy of
his own high reputation as a tactician and Military Engineer; and
that no soldier in Europe can know his business thoroughly without
consulting it.”—_Literary Gazette._

THE HISTORY OF THE GERMAN LEGION,

FROM THE PERIOD OF ITS ORGANIZATION IN 1803, TO THAT OF ITS
DISSOLUTION IN 1816.

_Compiled from Manuscript Documents._

BY N. LUDLOW BEAMISH, ESQ. F.R.S LATE MAJOR UNATTACHED.

Two Vols. 8vo. complete, with Plans and Coloured Plates of Costumes,
price £1 10s.

The second volume sold separately, price 10s.

“The work is not like others we could name—a mere compilation from
newspapers and magazines. Major Beamish has left no source of
information unexplored; and the access he obtained to manuscript
journals has enabled him to intersperse his general narrative
with interesting personal anecdotes, that render this volume as
delightful for those who read for amusement, as those who read for
profit.”—_Athenæum._

“We are altogether much pleased with the volume, and heartily
recommend it to the British public.”—_Literary Gazette._

Elegantly bound in the Uniform of the Regiment, 1 vol. post 8vo.
price 10s. 6d.

THE ADVENTURES OF
MAJOR JOHN PATTERSON,

(AUTHOR OF “CAMP AND QUARTERS,”)

_With Notices of the Officers, &c. of the 50th, or
Queen’s Own Regiment_.

FROM 1807 TO 1821.

DEDICATED BY PERMISSION TO QUEEN ADELAIDE.

“This volume contains a well-written, yet unvarnished narrative,
of the adventures of the 50th foot, (better known as the ‘Dirty
Half-hundred,’ from their black facings,’) during the Peninsular
war. It argues well for the bravery, as well as modesty, of Major
Patterson, that throughout his work we have but little of himself,
and much of his brother-officers.”—_Bell’s Messenger._

“Major Patterson’s Adventures are the record of a brave soldier—of
a dashing, high-minded British officer, who never fears a rival,
and never knew what it was to have an enemy, or to hate any man.
His descriptions are remarkable for their vividness and accuracy,
and his anecdotes will bear repetition once a week for life.”—_Sun._

“Major Patterson is one of the pleasantest of the numerous tribe of
gallant officers who has done so much credit to the British name,
by fighting and writing with equal spirit.”—_Constitutional._

In One Volume, post 8vo. price 10s. 6d. boards,

NARRATIVE OF
EVENTS IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE,

_AND OF THE ATTACK ON NEW ORLEANS IN 1814 AND 1815_.

BY MAJOR I. H. COOKE, 43d Regiment.

“This clever and fearless account of the attack on New Orleans is
penned by one of the ‘occupation;’ whose soldier-like view and keen
observation during the period of the stirring events he so well
relates, has enabled him to bring before the public the ablest
account that has yet been given of that ill-fated and disgraceful
expedition, and also to rescue the troops who were employed on it
from those degrading reflections which have hitherto unjustly been
insinuated against them.”—_Gentleman’s Magazine._

“We wish earnestly to call the attention of military men to
the campaign before New Orleans. It is fraught with a fearful
interest, and fixes upon the mind reflections of almost every
hue. Major Cooke’s relation is vivid; every evolution is made as
clear to the eye as if we had been present, and the remarks, we
think, are eminently judicious. The book must be generally read,”
&c.—_Metropolitan._

“It is full of good feeling, and it abounds with sketches of the
service.”—_Sunday Herald._

A TREATISE ON THE GAME OF WHIST;

BY THE LATE
ADMIRAL CHARLES BURNEY,

Author of “Voyages and Discoveries in the Pacific,” &c.

Second Edition. 18mo. price 2s.

“The kind of play recommended in this Treatise is on the most
plain, and what the Author considers the most safe principles. I
have limited my endeavours to the most necessary instructions,
classing them as much as the subject enabled me, under separate
heads, to facilitate their being rightly comprehended and easily
remembered. For the greater encouragement of the learner, I
have studied brevity; but not in a degree to have prevented my
endeavouring more to make the principles of the game, and the
rationality of them intelligible, than to furnish a young player
with a set of rules to get by rote, that he might go blindly right.”

One vol. post 8vo. neatly bound in cloth, price 5s.
Only 250 copies printed.

HINTS TO THE CHARITABLE,
Being Practical Observations on the proper Distribution
of Private Charity.

CONTAINING LETTERS ON

The “Coal Fund,” The “Benefit Society,”
The “Wife’s Society,” The “Loan Fund,”

“It is impossible that this plain, familiar, and engaging
exposition (price, a trifle), will not be generally sought after,
and earnestly perused, the moment that some of its excellencies and
contents are understood.”—_Monthly Review._

“This little work is addressed to those beneficent spirits who
delight in doing good, and who, in accordance with true Christian
feelings, wish to see mankind happy. Its principal aim is to
promote economy and industry among the poorer classes, and show how
they can be made comfortable with very little. We would like to see
the plans of the benevolent author carried into effect in every
village of Great Britain. We hope all those who look with eyes of
Christian feeling on the miseries of their fellow-creatures will
carefully look over the plans laid down in this little volume. How
much good can be done with a little rightly bestowed!”—_Polyglot
Mag. Sept. 1, 1838._

“The following pages contain, with some few alterations and
additions, the substance of a series of Letters, published in a
local periodical, under the signature of “Pastor.” Believing as I
do, that there are few rural parishes that have not within them
the elements of sound Moral Government, I am induced to give these
“Hints” the chance of a more general circulation; in the hope that
they may be useful, in exciting some of those who may have the
opportunity, to the importance of aiding the moral amelioration
of their neighbourhood, both by personal example and a judicious
exercise of personal effort.”—_Preface._

TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE

Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been
corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within
the text and consultation of external sources.

Some hyphens in words have been silently removed, some added,
when a predominant preference was found in the original book.

Some occurrences of upper-case titles (such as Lord, Sir, Colonel)
have been made lower-case for consistency.

The names d’España and d’Amarante have been changed to D’España
and D’Amarante, for consistency.

In those sections of the Appendix that are French documents,
incorrect grammar, spelling and accents have been left unchanged.

The tables in Appendix VIII No. 3 (page 708) have been restructured
to fit on the page. No data has been lost.

The table at the end of the original book (page 710) was very large,
about 240 characters in width. For this etext it has been split into
six parts. The second column ‘DIVISIONS’ has been replicated in each
part, for readability.

This table has five table-note anchors indicated in this etext by {a}
to {e}. They were printed as one or more asterisks in the original
book; however there is no explanation of their meaning.
