PREFACE.
My object has not been to enter into controversy with any one. I believe that I have read most of the published accounts of the Waterloo Campaign which have appeared both here and on the Continent, and I know that I have always had before me, while writing, the twelve volumes of Colonel Gurwood’s invaluable work. If, therefore, my views shall in some respects differ from those which others have taken, I am not without hope that they will prove, upon investigation, to be at least as accurate.
