F. STEVENS, and containing all the official letters,
orders, and the like of the campaigns in the Carolinas; this elaborate
work is essential for forming a judgment on the controversy between the
two generals. Other authorities more or less bearing on the quarrel with
the colonies and the subsequent war are noted in other sections.
(8) On military matters generally:--Colonel the Hon. Sir EDWARD CUST,
_Annals of the Wars of the Eighteenth Century_, iii.-v., 3rd edit.,
1862; the Hon. J. W. FORTESCUE, _A History of the British Army_, 3
vols., 1899-1902, in progress, an important work to which this volume is
indebted, though the view with regard to Clinton and Cornwallis taken by
Mr. Fortescue is widely different from that adopted here; M. CHUQUET,
_La jeunesse de Napoleon, Toulon_, 1897, and _Guerres de la Revolution_,
11 vols., in progress, an important work, vol. x. _Valenciennes_, vol.
xi. _Hondschoote_; Sir H. BUNBURY, _Narratives of the Great War with
France_, 1854, begins with the campaign in Holland of 1799; DRINKWATER,

History_, 1889, _Influence of Sea Power on the French Revolution_, 2
vols., 4th edit., 1892, and _Life of Nelson_, 2 vols., 1897, books to
which all students of the history of the eighteenth century are deeply
indebted. JAMES, _Naval History of Great Britain_, 6 vols., edit. 1837;
vols. i.-iii. include from 1793 to 1801, a famous work which is still of
high authority on naval engagements and tactics, the size and classes of
ships, the number and character of their guns, etc., but it neither
explains nor criticises strategy. BRENTON, _Naval History of Great
Britain, 1783-1822_, 5 vols., 1823, uncritical and inaccurate, though as
the work of a naval officer in active service, who had a part in some of
the events it describes, it has a certain importance. Sir W. L. CLOWES,
_The Royal Navy_, vol. iv., 1899. T. KEPPEL, _Life of Viscount Keppel_,
2 vols., 1842. MUNDY, _Life of Rodney_, 2 vols., 1830. Mr. D. HANNAY,
