Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Everyman, Vol. 2: His Life, Work and Books; April 18-October 10, 1913
That, as best as I can tell it within a very short compass, is the strategical and tactical story of the Battle of Waterloo, and the more people will keep in mind those main lines, the better for popular his tory.
It is of some interest, though of no practical value, to consider what would have happened if, for any one of the three reasons I have mentioned, Napoleon had succeeded upon the field of Waterloo. Sup ose, that is, that Grouchy had found out the line 0 the Prussian retreat; or supposing the Prussians had not come Up in time (they were badly late as it was), Or supposing Wellington's line had not held.
