Excerpt from A Narrative of the Political and Military Events, of 1815: Intended to Complete the Narrative of the Campaigns of 1812, 1813, and 1814
The rapidity with which the remarkable events of 1815, sues ceeded to those which had taken place in the former years, alone induced me to resume my pen and complete a subject which I had previously supposed was concluded. In this under taking I have followed the same plan as in the former work. I have endeavoured to record not only what the opposite par ties did, but also what they said. Of the differences of opinion in the Cabinet of Napoleon, and the private councils of the Al lies on the Continent, or in those of our own Cabinet, on these momentous occurrences, I pretend not to know - I attempt not to trace. It is the language and the deeds as promulgated, undertaken and executed in the name of, and by each nation. Or alliance, which I have chosen as my guide; and in which the public alone were immediately interested - It is chiefly these which I have attempted to collect together.
