Sinopsis
Excerpt from Waterloo Lectures: A Study of the Campaign of 1815
Since the publication of the First Edition, some valuable and wholly original details relating chiefly to the crowning event of the campaign - the Battle of Waterloo itself - have reached the Author, who has felt justified in adding them to this Work, although thereby slightly enlarging its original scope.
Some of the numerous kind critics of this work have supposed that these Lectures had been actually delivered before publication. This was not so, how ever. They were not written until the Author had left the Staff College, although they embody the result-s of a study which was carried on there, as it had been begun years before he was connected with that Institution.

Excerpt from Waterloo Lectures: A Study of the Campaign of 1815
There is a double satisfaction in being called upon so soon for a Second Edition of this work, inasmuch as it is thus shown that the Author's effort to treat his subject in an impartial spirit has met the approval of his own countrymen, while it 'has done something' - to use words which come from high authority - 'to heal a soreness which has been kept up among our Waterloo Allies these fifty years, by
our arrogating to ourselves the whole credit of the victory for which they bled as well as we.' It may be added, that although the French reviewers not unnaturally think the view here taken of their great soldier unduly severe, they admit liberally that their gallant army has suffered no injustice. May it not be
that much of the deep bitterness with which generations of Frenchmen have viewed their national disaster has been due to the same excess of self-assertion on our part of which the Prussians have complained?
