o LANFREY'S incomplete _History of Napoleon I._,
English translation (4 vols., 1871-1879), bitterly anti-Napoleonic. The
negotiations precedent to the outbreak of war in 1803 are to be found in
Mr. O. BROWNING'S _England and Napoleon in 1803_, containing despatches
of Whitworth and others, published in 1887, and in P. COQUELLE,
_Napoleon and England, 1803-1813_, translated by G. D. KNOX (1904),
based on the reports of Andreossy, the French ambassador at London. Sir
H. BUNBURY'S _Narrative of Certain Passages, etc._ (1853) is of the
highest value for the war in the Mediterranean. The _Times_ of September
16, 19, 22, 26, 28, 30, and October 19, 1905, contains an excellent
series of articles on Nelson's tactics at Trafalgar. For the Moscow
campaign, the Marquis DE CHAMBRAY'S _Histoire de l'Expedition de Russie_
(3 vols., 1839) is perhaps the most reliable of contemporary narratives.
There is a good account of the campaign in the Rev. H. B. GEORGE'S
_Napoleon's Invasion of Russia_ (1899). For the Peninsular war, W.
NAPIER'S _History of the War in the Peninsula and in the South of
France_ (6 vols.; vols. i.-iii., ed. 1835-1840; iv.-vi., 1834-1840) is
of the highest literary as well as historical value. C. OMAN'S _History
of the Peninsular War_ (in progress, vols. i., ii., 1902-1903, extending
at present to September, 1809) makes good use of Spanish sources of
information. The _Wellington Dispatches_ have been noticed already in
section 3. The _Diary of Sir John Moore_, edited by Sir J. F. Maurice (2
vols., 1904), is of value for the campaign of 1808-1809. For Waterloo,
in addition to Maxwell's _Life of Wellington_, and Rose's _Life of
Napoleon I._, Chesney's _Waterloo Lectures_, 1868; W. O'CONNOR MORRIS,
_The Campaign of 1815_ (1900), and J. C. ROPES, _The Campaign of
Waterloo_, may be studied with profit. Morris's work must, however, be
discounted for his extravagant admiration of Napoleon's genius and his
faith in the Grouchy legend. For the disputes with the United States and
war of 1812-1814, see chapters in the _Cambridge Modern History_ (vol.
vii., 1903); BOURINOT, _Canada_ (Story of the Nations), (1897); J.
SCHOULER, _History of the United States of America under the
Constitution_ (6 vols., 1880-1889); and MAHAN, _Sea Power in Its
Relations to the War of 1812_ (2 vols., 1905).
