Excerpt from The Campaign of Marengo: Extracted From Thiers' History of the Consulate and the EmpireIn the extracts of which this series is composed, the history of M. Thiers will be found unchanged. Portions will here and there be omitted which are mere episodes in the story, or which refer to some previous portion of it, but I have not thought myself at liberty to omit any words, or alter any phrases, in the passages actually selected. The division of chapters is alone different from that of the original work.The notes, ranging as they do over a very wide field of illustration, will no doubt be found to contain many inaccuracies, which I shall be glad at any time to see pointed out. On matters of military science, my own knowledge is slight, and mostly at second-hand but the elements of the science are becoming every day more accessible to non-professional readers. As regards the geography, impressions formed from maps have been, in most cases, strengthened or modified by personal visits to the scenes of the events described.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
