Excerpt from Waterloo: A Narrative and a Criticism
Service Magazine are by far the most scholarly contributions to the subject made by an English man in recent times.
It was the dictum of one of Oxford's most brilliant scholars and critics - the late Thomas Clayton, dear to T /ze Spectator, and still livi'r'ig in the affectionate memory of his friends - that every gentleman should know at least one campaign by heart. This was his epigrammatic way of com mending the study of military history to his friends. It is a study which presents to the student all the charm which an abstruse problem offers to the mathematician, a new force to the scientist, a disputed text to the scholar. There is undoubtedly a disposition among English people to day to know all that is to be known about the final overthrow of England's greatest antagonist, and 1t IS with the view of at once gratifying and stimulating the very legitimate curiosity which exists about Waterloo that the following pages have been written.
