Book Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of the War of the French in Spain The immense bridges, so frequently met with in Spain, and other southern and mountainous countries, are necessary, because the smallest stream, increased by a sudden influx, is sometimes instantaneously transformed into an impetuous torrent. There exists in Spain a nobility of cities as well as of men. The Spaniards preserve so much respect for their old institutions, that their capital still bears the name of Villa, or country-town, whereas some poor villages pride themselves on that of Ciudad, or city, either because they have received this title and the privileges attached to it, as the reward of some great proofs of devotion to their country or sovereign, or inherited it from the ruined towns upon which they themselves are founded.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from War of the French in Spain: During the Reign of the Emperor Napoleon On the subject of another prominent character, M. De Rocca is more severe; yet he.is not singular in his opinions and animadversions, and his censures are, mild in comparison with those of much more influential agents of the Bonaparte power. The French troops in Spain ascribed their want of suc cess in a great measure to the mistaken views and imprudent administration of the chief whom they were endeavouring to establish on the throne of that monarchy. The virtues and qualities which in pri vate life render this personage respectable and amia ble, formed perhaps the most material obstacles to his political aggrandizement.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of the War in Spain, Vol. 1 of 2: From 1808 to 1814 The Memoirs of marshal Suchet are as much! The offspring of his own mind as the campaigns which he describes: the spirit in which they, were composed may be gathered from what we have just premised. He derived enjoyment and relaxation from the task; his active imagination delighted in the recollection of the past, amidst the pleasing distractions of a domestic life, and during the painful intermission of his last illness. His in timate friends drew from his conversation a faithful commentary on his work; he pointed out the final modifications to be made, which rather consisted in curtailments from than in additions to it, and he sought with their assistance the explanatory documents that were to accompany the publica tion. Much time was required for effecting this careful revision, for checking the accuracy of figures and dates, drawing up statements, and appending notes or documents intended to eluci date, explain, or develop the text.
