Having called them one day into his closet, he spoke to them as follows : — u My sons, I am now come to a great age, and cannot apply myself to public affairs with so much care as formerly; therefore I intend to resign my crown to one of you: but, as it is but right to require some proof of your abilities, in order to determine which is the most worthy of so valuable a present, I propose and promise, that he who shall bring me the most beautiful little dog shall immediately take possession of my throne." �4 The three princes readily agreed to this proposal, each concluding himself most likely to succeed in fulfilling this extraordinary request. After taking leave of the king they set out, with orders to return that day twelvemonth with dogs. Each took a different road, without any attendants; but we shall leave the two eldest at present, and confine our story to the youngest. This accomplished prince, as he was more desirous to show his duty to his father than to become a king, was more fortunate in his undertaking than either of the others. One night, having travelled till it was very late, and being overtaken by a storm in a large forest, he discovered a light at a distance, and, pursuing his journey with all speed, he arrived at a most stately castle, the gates of which were of massy gold, and the walls of fine china, whereon were painted the histories of all the fairies that ever appeared on earth. A t the door hung a chain of diamonds, with a deer's foot at the end; on pulling which, the prince heard a bell of so pleasing a sound, that he concluded it to be made of gold or silver. Immediately the door opened, and twelve hands, each holding a flambeau, gently conducted him into a haD of motherof-pearl, and from thence through a vast variety of chambers, all richly covered with paintings and jewels. The beauty �5 of these ornaments was greatly heightened by a number of lights, that hung* from the ceiling in glass sconces of exquisite workmanship. After having passed through sixty apartments, a fine easy chair moved towards him of its own accord; the fire lighted itself, and the hands pulled off his clothes, which had been drenched in the storm, and dressed him in others so extraordinarily fine and rich, that it dazzled his sight to behold himself. While the prince was in the utmost astonishment at this uncommon adventure, he saw a multitude of cats enter the room, and seat themselves on the bench. One held a music-book, and some played on instruments, while others beat time. In the midst of this concert, a small figure came forward in a mourning veil, led by two cats in black cloaks, and followed by a long train of cats, some with rats, and others with mice, in their mouths. The young prince was so surprised, that he had not power to move; when the little figure, lifting up its veil, discovered the prettiest white cat that ever was seen. " Prince," said she, " b e not afraid, but give me your company with cheerfulness. It shall be the ambition of me and all my mewing attendants to give you pleasure." On a signal given, supper was brought in; but the prince at first declined eating, �till tho White Cat, guessing the reason, assured him that there were no rats nor mice in any thing that was set before him. As the prince was admiring this beautiful cat, he observed a small picture hanging upon her foot. He asked her to show it him; and how great was his surprise to see a charming young man very much resembling himself! yet, observing the White Cat to sigh, he was afraid at that time to satisfy his curiosity concerning it, and so endeavoured to divert her by entertaining conversation, in which he found her to be extremely sensible, and acquainted with every thing that passed in the world. He slept every night in an apartment hung with tapestry made of the wings of butterflies, on a bed of the most delicious flowers, and every day was spent in the most delightful amusement. In this manner almost a year slipped away insensibly; and the prince entirely forgot his native home and the little dog he was to carry to his father. But the White Cat knew when he was to return; and one day, as they were walking together in a grove near the palace, " Do you remember, prince," said she, " t h e promise you made your father? Your brothers have already procured some curious little dogs, and there remain but three days for you to find one more beautiful, or lose a kingdom." These �s words awoke the prince from his dream of pleasure. " Alas !" cried he, u what have I been doing ? My honour is lost for ever." — " D o not afflict yourself/' said the White Cat; " I will find a horse that will carry you home in less than twelve hours. And as for the little dog, take this acorn, in which there is one: put it to your ear, and you will hear it bark." The prince did so, and, transported with pleasure, thanked her a thousand times. Bidding her farewell, he mounted the wooden horse, and arrived at his father's palace just as his brothers entered the courtyard. He ran to embrace them, and all three went together to the king.— The two eldest presented their dogs, which were so equally beautiful, that it was impossible to know in whose favour to determine. But the youngest soon put an end to the debate; for, pulling the acorn out of his pocket and opening it, they saw a little dog lying on cotton, so small that it might go through a ring; it was of a mixtur of colours, and its ears reached the ground. The king was convinced that nothing coul d be met with so beautiful; but, being unwilling yet to part with his crown, he told 1 children, that he must make a further trial of their love and diligence before he performed his promise: they must take another �£ year to find out a web of cloth fine enough to go through the eye of a small needle. This request, though unjust, they thought it best to comply with: and our prince mounted his wooden horse, and returned with speed to his White Cat, on which alone he depended for assistance. He found her laid on a quilt of white satin. A s soon as she saw him, she expressed the utmost j o y ; while the prince caressed her in the most tender manner, and told her the success of his journey. The White Cat redoubled her efforts to render the prince more happy, if possible, than he had been before. He wished for nothing but the hands which brought it to him; and the second year rolled away so fast, that the prince would again have forgot his orders, had not the White Cat reminded him thereof; u But make yourself perfectly easy concerning the web," said she, u for I have one wonderfully fine. Take this walnut; be sure to crack it in your father's presence, and you will find in it such a web as you want." The prince thanked her in the most grateful manner; and was presently carried by the wooden horse to his father's palace, where his brothers had got before him. I They pulled out their webs, which were exceeding fine, and would go through the eye of a larro needle, but could not be made to �9 pass through the eye of a small one. The king was going to avail himself of this pretext, when the youngest prince unexpectedly entered, and produced a walnut, which he cracked. Finding only a kernel of wax, the king and all present ridiculed him for thinking to find a web of cloth in a nut. However, he broke the kernel, and saw in it a corn of wheat, and in that a grain of millet-seed: he then opened the millet-seed, and, to the utter astonishment and confusion of all the beholders, drew out a web of cloth four hundred yards long. The needle was brought, and the web was put through the eye of it five or six time? with the greatest ease. The king fetched a deep sigh, and turning towards his sons, " M y children," said he, " I am still desirous of putting you to a new trial: go for another year; and he that brings me the most beautiful damsel, shall marry her and be crowned king; and I swear most solemnly, that I will require no other proof of your filial affection and discretion." Our sweet prince heard this tyrannic command without a murmur; and, * remounting his courser, flew to his dear White Cat; which, knowing the moment of his return, was prepared to receive him in the golden gallery. u Prince," said she, "the king I find, has refused you the crown; �10 however, I hope you will take care to deserve it, and I will provide you with a beautiful damsel who will gain the prize." The prince grew more and more fond of her; and in her abode enjoyed every magnificent entertainment that fancy could invent.—When this last year was near expired, the White Cat thus addressed him, " I f you are sensible of the favours I have conferred upon you, now is the time to make me amends. Do not hesitate, but cut off my head and tail, and throw them into the fire." Tears started from the prince's eyes at this request, and he was going several times to refuse; but the White Cat insisted upon it so earnestly, that at last, with a trembling hand, he chopped off her head and tail, and threw them accordingto order into the fire. In an instant the bodyofthe White Cat was changed into themostbeautiful lady that ever was seen, and immediately a great number of gentlemenand ladies, holding their cats' skins over their shoulders, came and fell prostrate at her feet, crying, u Long live our gracious queen ! How great is our joy to see her once more in her natural shape!" The prince was glad beyond description to behold so charming a creature, but could not help expressing an earnest desire to know the cause of this surprising transformation. u Restrain �11 your curiosity/1 says the lovely queen, " till we arive at your father's court, where I am now ready to accompany you, and where I will relate my unheard-of misfortunes. Come, see, the carnage waits.' So saying, she gave her hand to the prince, who led her into a chariot, the inside of which was fine velvet, set with brilliants, the outside gold; and the horses' harness was made of emeralds. Away they flew, and were presently at the gates of the king's palace, where the two eldest princes were already arrived with their two princesses, in fine calashes of blue, embossed with gold. The courtiers crowded to present these three illustrious couples to the king. The two eldest princes with their ladies advanced first, and were received very graciously by the monarch, who declared they had brought him two such beauties, that he knew not to which he should give the preference; but the moment the youngest approached with his queen, both full of grace and dignity, the king* cried out in ecstacy, cc This is the incomparable beauty, whose worth and excellence claims and deserves my crown!"—" I came not to rob vou of your crown/' answered the discreet queen; " I was born heiress to six kingdoms. Give me leave to present one of them to you, and one to each of your sons; for which I �ask no other return than this amiable prince in marriage," The king and all the court were struck with joy at this declaration; and the nuptials were celebrated the same day with great magnificence. Never were a pair more happy; and the young prince, to the last moment of his life, blessed the accident that led him to the abode of the sweet White Cat, �13 T H E Y E L L O W DWARF. T H E R E was once a queen, who, though she had born many children, had but one daughter left alive, of whom she was fond to an excess, humouring and indulging her in all her ways and wishes. This princess was exceedingly beautiful, so that she was called All-Fair, and had twenty kings courting her at one time. Her mother, being advanced in years, would fain have had her married and settled before she died, but no entreaties could prevail; whereupon she determined to go to the Desert Fairy to ask advice concerning her stuborn daughter. Now, this fairy being guarded by two fierce lions, the queen made a cake of millet, sugarcandy, and crocodiles' eggs, in order to appease their fury and pass by them; and having thus provided herself, she set out. After traveling some time, she found herself weary, and, lying down under a tree, fell asleep. When she awoke, she heard the lions which guarded the fairy roaring, upon which, looking for her cake, she found it was gone. This threw her into the utmost agony, not knowing how to save herself �14 from being devoured by them; when, hearing somebody cry, " Hem! hem ! " she lifted up her eyes, and beheld a little yellow man on a tree, half a yard high, picking and eating oranges, " Ah ! queen," said the yellow Dwarf, (for so he was called on account of his complexion, and the orange-tree he lived in) " h o w will you escape the lions? There is but one w a y : I know what business brought you here! promise me your daughter in marriage, and I will save you," The queen thought she could not but look upon so frightful a figure with horror, yet was forced to consent; where upon she instantly found herself in her own palace, and all that had passed seemed only as a dream ; nevertheless, she was so throughly persuaded of the realty of it, that she became melancholy. Theyoung princess being unable to learn the cause of her dejection, resolved to go and inquire of the Desert Fairy; and, accordingly, having prepared a cake for the lions, she also set off for her abode. It happened that All-Fair took exactly the same rout her mother had done before her; and coming to the fatal tree, which was loaded with oranges, she had a mind to pick some ! therefore, setting down her basket wherein she carried the cake,she plentifully �1 15 indulged herself. The lions now began to roar, when All-Fair, looking for her cake, was thrown into the utmost trouble on finding it gone. As she was lamenting her deplorable situation, the Yellow Dwarf presented himself to her with these words:— u Lovely princess, dry up your tears, and hear what I am going to say: You need not proceed to the Desert Fairy to know the reason of your mother's indisposition, she is ungenerous enough to repent of having promised you, her adorable daughter, to me in marriage."—"How!" interrupted the princess; 66 my mother promised me to you in marriage! you! such a fright as you!" — " Nay, none of your scoffs," returned thr Yellow Dwarf, (C 1 wish you not to stir up my anger: if you will promise to marry me, I will be the tenderest and most loving husband in the world—if not, save yourself from the lions if you can." In short, the princess was forced to give her word that ^she would have him, but with such agony 'of mind, that she fell into a swoom; and when she recovered, she found herself in her own bed, finely adorned with ribbons, and a ring of a single red hair so fastened round her finger that it could not be got off. This adventure had the same effect upon All-Fair as the former had upon her mother. She grew melancholy, which was remarked �16 and wondered at by the whole court. The.-best way to divert her, they thought, would be to urge her to marry; which the prin- g cess, who was now become less obstinate on y^ that point than formerly, consented to; and, „ thinking' that such a pigmy as the Yellow aj. Dwarf would not dare to contend with so ' gallent a person as the K i n g of the Golden^ Mines, she fixed upon this king for her husband, who was exceedingly rich and ou powerful, and loved her to distraction. The 0 f most superb preparations were made for s u the nuptials, and the happy day was fixed f cj. when, as they were proceeding to the cere- } a mony, they saw moving towards them a s o box, whereon sat an old woman remarkable <1, for her ugliness.—" Hold queen and prin- j| cess," cried she, knitting her brows, " re- f 0 member the promises you both made to my c. friend the Yellow Dwarf. I am the Desert 0 j Fairy, and if All-Fair does not marry him, I swear by my coif, I will burn my crutch." C( The queen and princess were struck motion- p less by this unexpected greeting* of thej tj F a i r y ; but the Prince of the Golden Mines was exceedingly wroth; and, holding his Si sword to her throat, u F l y wretch !" said ti he, or thy malice shall cost thee thy life." V No sooner had he uttered these words, thai, h the top of the box flying off, out came the I Yellow Dwarf, mounted upon a large,a i 7 ti i �rhs ul<| 17 Spanish cat, who placing himself between on the king and the fairy, uttered these words: nd:, " Rash youth, thy rage should be levelled low at me, noc at the Desert F a i r y ; I am thy so rival, and claim her by promise, and a single den hair round her finger." her This so enraged the king, that he cried and out, contemptible creature! wert thou worthy Che of notice, I would sacrifice thee for thy prefor sumption," Whereupon the Yellow Dwarl ed; clapping spurs to his cat, and drawing a sre- "arg.e cutlass, defied the king to combat; and 1 a so they went into the court-yard. The sun ible then immediately turned red as blood, and rin- it became dark: thunder and lightning re- followed, by the flashes whereof were permy ceived to giants vomiting fire on each side sert f the Yellow Dwarf. im, The king behaved with such undaunted courage as to give the Dwarf great perionbut was dismayed, when he saw th^the Desert Fairy, mounted on a winged inesr griffin, with her head covered with snakes, his strike the princess so heard with a lance, said that she fell into the queen's arms all over ife." with blood. He left the combat to go to haiL her relief; but the dwarf was to quick for the him, and, flying on his Spanish cat to the balcony where she was, lie took her from her mother's arms, leaped with her upon �the top of the palace, and immediately disappeared. I As the king* stood confused and astonished at this strange adventure, he suddenly found a mist before his eyes, and himself lifted up in the air by some extraordinary power: for the Desert Fairy had fallen in love with! him. To secure him for herself, therefore, she carried him to a frightful cavern, hoping he would there forget All-Fair, and tried many artifices to complete her designs. But finding this scheme ineffectual, she resolved to carry him to a place altogether as pleasant as the other was terrible; and accordingly set him by herself in a chariot drawn by swans. In passing through the air, he had. the unspeakable surprise to see his adored princess in a castle of polished steel, leaning her head on one hand, and wiping away the tears with the other. She happened to look up, and had the mortification to see the king sitting by the fairy , who then; by her art, made herself appear extremely beautiful/ Had not the king been sensible of the fairy's power, he would certainly then have tried to free himself from her. At last they came to a stately palace, fenced on one side by walls of emeralds, and on the other by a boisterous sea. The king, by pretending to be in lovaH with the fairy, obtained liberty to walk by �JL J himself on the shore; and, as he was one day invoking the powers of the sea, he heard a voice, and presently after was surprised with the appearance of a Mermaid, which, coming up with a pleasant smile, spoke these words : — " O K i n g of the Golden Mines, I well know all that has passed in regard to you and the fair princess. Don't suspect this to be a contrivance of the fairy's to try you, for I am an inveterate enemy both to her and the Yellow dwarf; therefore, if you will have confidence in me, I will lend you my assistance to procure the release not only of yourself, but of All-Fair also." The overjoyed king promised to do whatever the Mermaid bade him; whereupon, setting him upon her tail, they sailed away on a rolling sea. When they had sailed some time, " Now," said the Mermaid to the king, " w e direw near the place where your princess is kept by the Yellow Dwarf. You will have many enemies to fight before you can come to her; take, therefore, this sword, with which you may overcome every thing, provided you never let it go out of your hand." The king returned her all the thanks that the most grateful heart could suggest; and the Mermaid landed and took leave of him, promising him farther assistance when necessary. �20 The king boldly advanced, and meeting with two terrible sphinxes, laid them dead athis feetwith hissword. Next heattacked six dragons that opposed him, and despatched them also. Then he met with four and twenty nymphs, with garlands of flowers, at sight of whom he stopped, beingloath to destroy so much beauty ; when he heard a voice say, " Strike! strike! or you will lose your princess for ever ! " upon which he threw himself in the midst of them, and soon dispersed them. He now came in view of All-Fair, and, hastening to her, exclaimed, " O my princess, behold your faithful lover!" But she, drawing back, replied, "Faithful lover! Did I not see you passing through the air with abeautiful nymph ? Were you faithful then ? " " Y e s , " replied the king, " I was. That was the detested Desert Fairy, who was carrying me to a place where I must have languished out all my days, had it not been for a kind Mermaid, by whose assistance it is that I am now come to release you." So saying, he cast himself at her feet; but, catching hold of her gown, unfortunately let go the magic sword: which the Yellow Dwarf no sooner discovered, than, leaping from behind a shrub where he had been concealed, he ran and seized it. By two cabalistcal words he then conjured up two giants, who �f | r l I 1 x I laid the king in irons. u Now," said the dwarf, " m y rival's fate is in my own hands; however, if he will consent to my marriage, he shall have his life and liberty." u No," said the king, " 1 scorn thy favour on such terms;" which so provoked the dwarf, that he instantly stabbed him to the heart. The disconsolate princess, aggravated to the last degree at such barbarity, thus vented her g r i e f : — " Thou hideous creature, since entreaties could not avail thee, perhaps thou now reliest upon force; but thou shalt be di-sappointed, and thy brutal soul shall know perpetual mortification from the mo'ment I tell the I die for thee love I have for the King of the Golden Mines !" And so saying, she sunk down upon his body, and expired without a sigh. Thus ended the fate of these two faithful lovers, which the Mermaid very much regretted; but, all her power lying in the sword, she could only change them into two i^almtrees; which, preserving a constant mutual affection for each other, caress and unite their branches together. \ �22 fHE THREE WISHES. T H E R E was once a man, not very rich, who had a very pretty woman to his wife. One winter's evening, as they sat by the fire, they talked of the happiness of their neighbours, who were richer than they. Said the wife, " If it were in my power to have what < I wish, I should soon be happier than all of them." " So should I too," said the husband; " I wish we had fairies now, and that one of them was kind enough to grant me what I should ask." A t that instant they saw a very beautiful lady in their room, who said to them, " I am a fairy; and I promise to grant to you the three first things 1 you shall wish; but take care—after having wished for three things, I will not grant one wish further." The fairy disappeared; and the man and his wife were much perplexed. u For my own part, said the wife, " i f it ;rere left to my choice I know very well what I should wish for: I do not wish yet, ! but I think nothing is so good as to be J handsome, rich, and to be of great quality." But the husband answered, " With all these tilings one may be sick and fretful, and one may die young: it would be much wiser to wish for health, cheerfulness, and long life." " But to what purpose is long life with po* �verty ?" says the wife: " it would only prolong your misery. In truth, the fairy should have promised us a dozen of gifts, for there are at least a dozen things which I want." " That may be true," said the husband; " b u t let us take time; let us consider till morning the three things which are most necessary for us, and then wish." < " H I think all night," said the wife; "meanwhile let us warm ourselves, for it is very cold.", At the same time the wife took the tongs to mend the fire; and seeing there were a great many coals thoroughly lighted, she said without thinking on it, " Here's a nice fire; I wish we had a yard of black pudding for our supper; we could dress it 1 easily." She had hardly said these words, when down came tumbling through the 1 chimney a yard of black pudding. ' 6 Plague on your greedy guts with your black pud1 ding!" said the husband : "here's a fine wish indeed! Now we have only two left; I for my part I am so vexed, that I wish the black pudding fast to the tip of your nose." \ ; The man soon perceived he was sillier than his wife; for, at this second wish, up starts the black pudding, and sticks so fast to the tip of the poor wife's nose, there was no means to take it of. c 6 Wretch that I am !" cried she; "you are a wicked man for wishing the pudding fast to my nose." " My �24 dear, "answered the husband, " X vow I did not think of it; but what shall we do? I am about wishing for vast riches, and propose to make a golden case to hide the pudding." " Not at all," answered the wife; " f o r I should kill myself, were I to live with this pudding dangling at my nose : be persuaded, we have still one wish to make; leave it to me, or I shall instantly throw myself out of the window." With this she ran and opened the window; but the husband, who loved his wife, called out, " Hold, my dear wife! I give you leave to wish for what you will." " Well," said the wife, " m y wish is that this pudding may drop off." A t that instant the pudding dropped off; and the wife, who did not want wit, said to her husband; " T h e fairy has imposed upon us; she was in the right; possibly we should have been more unhappy with riches than we are at present. Believe me, friend, let us wish for nothing, and take things as it shall please God to send them : in the mean time, let us sup upon our pudding, since that's all that remains to us of our wishes." The husband thought his wife judged right; they supped merrily, and never gave themselves further trouble about the things which they had designed to wish for, 2TINIS. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This chapbook contains three popular fairy tales, including Prince Lupin and the White Cat, The Yellow Dwarf, and the Three Wishes. The first tale follows the adventures of the youngest son of a king who has instructed his sons to find him various fantastical objects in order to determine who should inherit the kingdom, including a beautiful dog, a web of cloth fine enough to pass through the eye of a needle, and a beautiful young woman. The youngest son finds help in procuring these objects, as well as his own happiness, at the court of a white cat who is actually an enchanted queen herself. The Yellow Dwarf, tells the fantastical tale of All-Fair, a beautiful princess who won’t settle down, so her mother decides to seek the advice of the Desert Fairy. On the way, she loses the cakes she had brought to distract the lions guarding the fairy, but a Yellow Dwarf appears and promises to save her in exchange for All-Fair’s hand in marriage. She agrees but becomes melancholy after these events, which causes All-Fair to follow the same path as her mother, falling into the same trap with the Dwarf, whom she agrees to marry. When she repents her choice, she decides to agree to marry the King of the Golden Mines instead, but the Desert Fairy and the Yellow Dwarf arrive suddenly on supernatural steeds and battle with the King who is defeated. The Dwarf takes the princess home, and the Desert Fairy takes the king, who she has fallen in love with, but the King escapes with the help of a Mermaid. Bearing a magical sword given to him by the mermaid, the King defeats a variety of foes in an attempt to rescue All-Fair, but is ultimately defeated and killed. All-Fair dies of grief and the mermaid changes both of their bodies into a pair of palm trees. The Three Wishes is a short tale at the end of the chapbook that reminds the readers to ‘be careful what you wish for.’ In this tale, a fairy promises a married couple that the next three things that they wish for will be granted. After arguing about what to wish for, they agree to wait ‘til morning to decide. Forgetting the specific nature of the fairy’s instructions, they end up accidentally using up their wishes in a series of ridiculous requests, which eventually leads them to realize that it is best to be happy with what you have in life.

JAMES First of England, and Sixth of Scotland, son of Mary, Queen of Scots, and Henry Stuart, Earl of Darnley, was the first English king of the Stuart rack. Soon after his accession a plot was formed by the Catholics for blowing up the parliamenthouse with gunpowder, at the opening of parliament, when the King, Lords, and Commons, together with the Queen, and Prince of Wales were assembled. This plot was discovered, and some of the conspirators died in endeavouring to defend themselves ; others were executed, and some par- �4 doned by the king* The fifth of November, the day on which the plot was discovered, is still observed as a holiday at the public offices. The nation, which had formed a high opinion of the king's sagacity, in the discovery of the gunpowderplot, soon changed its opinion in consequence of the folly which he displayed in giving himself up to the guidance of unworthy favorites, one of the first of whom was Robert Carr, Earl of Somerset, and afterwards George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham. The greatest stain upon the character of James, is his treatment of the celebrated Sir Walter Raleigh, who, after being many years confined upon a charge of conspiracy, was released to take the command of a voyage of discovery, which proving unsuccesful, he was on his return taken up and executed upon his old sentence. The king's prodigality having exhausted his exchequer, he was obliged to apply to parliament for supplies, when the Commons took occasion to make encroachments on the royal prerogative, which originated the struggle, that ended in the death of his successor. The king having engaged in war to assist his son-in-law, the Elector-palatine, who had taken up arms against the Emperor, expeditions were fitted out for Holland, and France, which proved unsuccessful. What effect James's misfortunes had upon his constitution is uncertain, but soon after the failure of these expeditions he was seized with a tertian ague, of which he died on the 27th of March, 1625, in the fifty-ninth year of his age, and twenty-second of his reign over England ; having reigned thirty-six years over Scotland previous to his accession to the English throne. Eminent men in this reign :—Villiers, Duke of Buckingham; Herbert, Earl of Pembroke; and Lord Chancellor Bacon. �§ CHARLES I. Succeeded his father, James I. Upon his accession he found himself engaged in a war for the defence of his brother-in-law, the Elector-palatine; but the subsidies granted by parliament not being sufficient to enable him to carry it on, and after attempting to raise money by unconstitutional methods, he called a new parliament. The new parliament not being more liberal in its grants than its predecessor, he had again recourse to unconstitutional methods of raising supplies. Buckingham, as great a favorite of Charles as he had been of his father, was sent with a fleet to relieve Rochelle, which completely failed; while at home, the disputes between the king and parliament became more violent. After the death of Buckingham, who fell by the hand of an assassin, the king made peace with France and Spain, and assisted by Lord Strafford and Archbishop Laud, made it apparent �6 that he intended to govern without a parliament, The national discontent increased, and as if tho discontent in England was not enough, Charles and his councillors attempted to introduce Episcopacy into Scotland ; when the Scots, rather than submit, had recourse to arms. For the purpose of obtaining supplies, after other methods had failed, ho held first one parliament, then another: the last was the celebrated Long Parliament. This parliament commenced measures which ended in tho execution of Lord Strafford, abolished certain obnoxious courts, deprived the crown of many of its prerogatives, and broke out into an open rupture with the king, success sometimes attending ono side, sometimes another, until the battle of Marston Moor, when the king's misfortunes commenced. Laud, who had been sent to the tower at the commencement of the war, was executed, and Episcopacy abolished. Charles, after the battle of Naseby, gave himself up to the Scottish army, which some time before had joined the Parliamentarians, and was by them delivered into the hands of his enemies. After being confined in different places, and attempting to make his escape from Hampton Court, he was at last brought to London, where he was tried and condemned. He was executed on the thirtieth of January, 1649, in the forty-ninth year of his age, and twenty-fourth of his reign. The person of Charles was of the middle size, robust, and well made ; with a pleasing, though melancholy countenance, which might be occasioned by the misfortunes he had suffered. Eminent men in this reign:—Earl of Strafford; Archbishop Laud; John Hampden; Earl of Falkland; Lord Edward Herbert of Cherbury, �XIIE COMMONWEALTH.—OLIVER CROMWELL, After the death of Charles L, his son Charles being invited by the Scots to become their king, Oliver Cromwell went with an army into Scotland, where he entirely defeated the Scots army, Charles with another army having entered England, was again overcome by Cromwell at Worcester; Charles with difficulty escaping into France. Cromwell, having abolished the Long Parliament, was at length elevated to the supreme power by the title of Lord Protector. He was distinguished for the ability with which he conducted affairs both at home and abroad. He retained the supreme power until his death, and was succeeded by his son Richard, who in a short time resigned ; the nation by this time being prepared for the return of Charles II. Eminent men during the Commonwealth :—Admiral Blake ; Generals Fairfax and Mcnk ; Sir H. Vane; John Milton. �8 CHARLES II. Born 1030. Pled Feb. 6, 1QS5, Began to Keign May 29, 1CG0. Reigned 24.| Years, Soon after his coming to the throne, an act of indemnity was passed, from which those who had an immediate hand in the death of the late king were excepted. He also, contrary to the advice of his wisest councillors, married Catharine, Infanta of Portugal, his motive being to secure the dowry of this princess: the expences attending his profligate pleasures rendering this necessary. It was probably from the same motive that he declared war against the Dutch, which after being carried on with great fury for several years, was put a stop to by the treaty of Breda. Having got rid of Chancellor Clarendon, he took for his advisers a set of men known by the designation of the Cabal. The measures of the king and his advisers produced great discontent in the country ; which the plague in London in 1665, and the great fire in the suq» �9 ceeding year tended to increase : tlie people ascribe ing the latter to the papists. The nation was long agitated with the proceeding about the popish plot, as it was called, which was followed by others through the whole course of this reign. Party spirit ran high toward the conclusion of this reign. Fitzharris, a noted manufacturer of libels, was imprisoned by the king, whilst his cause was espoused by the Commons; and a dispute took place between the Lords and Commons regarding the manner in which he should be tried. The king, taking advantage of their disputes, dissolved the parliament, without ever intending to call another; and by this unexpected measure put an end to parliamentary commotions. He oppressed the Presbyterians and others opposed to the government, and gave the places, of such of them as had places, to the friends of high prerogative. He also deprived the city of London of its charter, which was only restored upon the most abject submission. Fitzharris, formerly mentioned, and others were put to death. Whilst the power of the crown had become irresistible, and many saw no other means of safety but submission, there was a party still resolved to make a vigorous attempt for the restoration of freedom. Amongst the most eminent of these were Lord Russell and Algernon Sydney, who were taken up as being concerned in a pretended plot, and after a mock trial, executed. But just when Charles had established as despotic a government as any in Europe, he was seized with a sudden illness, and died in the fifty-fifth year of his age, and twenty-fifth of his reign. Eminent men in this reign :—Ilyde, Earl of Clarendon ; Villiers, Duke of Buckingham ; Algernon Sydney; Lord Russell; Wilmot, Earl of Rochester; John Dryden. �JAMES II, Abdicated the throne Jan. 22, 1689. Reigned 4 Years. Succeeded his brother, Charles II., and immediately began to. take steps for reconciling his kingdom to the Church of Rome. The Duke of Monmouth, a natural son of the late king, who had retired to Holland on account of his connexion with one of the plots of last reign, landed in England, and claimed the throne ; but being unsuccessful, was takeii and executed, and his followers treated with unheard of cruelties. After this James proceeded openly with his designs for establishing popery ; the people became discontented, the army deserted him, seven of the bishops were tried for opposing some of his measures, and were acquitted, and the Prince of Orange haying landed, he was forced to abdicate the throne, and leave the kingdom. He retired to France, where he died in 1700. Eminent men in this reignDuke of Monmouth; Judge Jeffries; Sayille, Marquis ofHalifax; John Locke. �11 WILLIAM III. Died March 8, 1702. Reigned 13 Years* After the abdication of James, it was agreed that William, Prince of Orange, nephew and son-in-law of James, who landed in England on the fifth of November, 1688, and Mary, his wife, should reign jointly; the administration of government being placed in the hands of the prince. At the beginning of his reign, William, who was averse to religious persecution, made an attempt to alter the laws regarding uniformity of worship. Although he did not succeed to the extent of his wishes, yet a toleration was granted to dissenters on certain conditions. Whilst he was thus engaged, James, the abdicated monarch, whose authority was still extensively acknowledged in Ireland, landed in that kingdom on the twenty-second of May, 1690, where he found Tyrconnell, the lord lieutenant, and an army amounting to nearly forty thousand men, de- �12 voted to his interest. As soon as the season admitted, he besieged Londonderry; the besieged enduring great hardships, from which they were at last relieved, by a store-ship breaking the boom laid across the river to hinder a supply. The army of James after this abandoned the siege, having lost about nine thousand men. William, having gone to head the protestant army, the rival kings met at the river Boyne: the two armies being inflamed with religious animosity and hatred. William immediately upon his arrival narrowly escaped bei&g killed by a shot from a cannon privately .planted against him by the enemy, which killed several of his attendants, and slightly wounded himself. Early next morning, William's army forced a passage over the river, and the battle commenced with great vigour, After an obstinate resistance, the Irish fled, followed by their French and Swiss auxiliaries. This victory was almost decisive, although the death of the Duke of Schomberg was severely felt by the protestant party. After one or two more stands, William succeeded in reducing Ireland, and James returned to France, where he died in 1700. William, after endeavouring to preserve as much as he could of the royal prerogative, gave up the contest, and was for the most part of his reign engaged in carrying on war with France, which was terminated by the treaty of Ryswick in 1697. William died on the eighth of March, 1702, in consequence of a fall from hfs horse, in the fifty-second year of his age, and thirteenth of his reign: Mary, his consort, died some years before him. Eminent men in this reign.:—Duke of Schomberg; Montague, Earl of Halifax; Lord Somers; Archbishop Tillotson; Bishop Burnet; "Sir Isaac Newton. �ANNE, Born 1664. Died Aug. 1, im. Began ift Reign March 8, 1702. Reigned 12i Years. Second daughter of James II., and wife of George, Prince of Denmark, now ascended the throne, to the satisfaction of ail parties. Anne declared war with France, in which she was followed by the Dutch. The Duke of Marlborough was made general of the English forces, and generalissimo of the allied army, and became a very formidable enemy of France. A series of splendid victories were achieved by the allies, of which the chief was that of Blenhiem. For this victory, one of the greatest ever won by England, the Duke of Marlborough was rewarded by the gift of a large estate and splendid mansion. Another conquest which has ultimately turned out of much more importance to England, was the taking of Gibraltar by Sir Cloudsley Shovel and Sir George Rook. Philip IV., grandson of Louis XIY, being placed upon the throne of Spain, notwithstanding a treaty formerly entered into by the powers of Europe, by which Charles, �u son of the Emperor of Germany, had been appointed to succeed, an English army under the command of the Earl of Peterborough was sent to support Charles, and was at first successful; but Peterborough being recalled, the English were completely defeated, and Philip firmly established on the throne.* An event of great importance took place in 1707; this was the union between England and Scotland, which, although long governed by the same sovereign, until now had remained separate kingdoms. The Whigs, to which party the Duke of Marlborough belonged, and who had been in office from the commencement of this reign, had for some time been on the decline, and soon after the Union were succeeded by their rivals the Tories: their downfall was principally occasioned by the queen's dislike to them. Anne, who was led by her favourites, had long been influenced by the Duchess of Marlborough, but she was succeeded by another favourite, who used her influence on behalf of tho Tories. This triumph was accelerated by certain proceedings against Sacheverell, a clergyman, and defender of high prerogative opinions, and who had become very popular. The Duke of Marlborough was recalled in the midst of brilliant success, and a peace concluded with France. But whilst the Whigs were attacking the Tories, and the Tories were divided amongst themselves, the queen's constitution gave way, and she died on the first of August, 1714; after having reigned more than twelve years over a people that had now risen to a high degree of refinement and opulence. Eminent men in this reign ; Churchill, Duke of Marlborough; St. John, Lord, Bolingbroke; Sir William Temple; Ilarley, Earl of Oxford ; Jonathan Swift. �15 GEORGE Born 1660. Died June 11, 1727. Began to Reign August 1, 1714. Reigned 12| Years. Anne was succeeded by George, Elector of Hanover, son of the Princess Sophia, grand-daughter of James I. Immediately after liis succession the Whigs were restored to power, and proceedings set afoot against some of the leading members of the late administration : Lord Oxford the chief of them was set at liberty, whilst some of the others went into exile. The Pretender, son of James II., landed in Scotland in 1715, after some attempts were made in his favour; but seeing no prospect of success, soon after returned to France. The king in 1727, being desirous of visiting his electoral dominions, set out for the continent, and tiport his landing in Holland, stopt at a little village called Yoet, and in two days more arrived at Delden, where he was taken ill, and died in the sixtyeighth year of his age, and thirteenth of his reign. Eminent men in this reign:—Sir William Winclham; Sir Robert Walpole : Bishop Atterbury. �16 GEORGE II. Succeeded his father, George I. After the commencement of this reign, great complaints were made by the nation of cruelties committed by the Spaniards, but the war with which the country was threatened was for some time averted, by a treaty concluded at Vienna. An interval of peace succeeded for some years, but was at length broken by war with Spain ; when Porto-Bello was taken by Admiral Vernon. Commodore Anson was also sent out with a squadron to annoy the Spaniards in the South Seas, and after the loss of great part of his squadron, succeeded in capturing a rich Spanish treasure ship; and returned at the end of three years, having circumnavigated the globe. An expedition was also sent out against Carthagena, which terminated disastrously. The Emperor dying in 1740, the French caused the Elector of Bavaria to be crowned emperor, thus setting aside the claims �17 of the Queen of Hungary, daughter of the late emperor, George espoused her cause, and an English and Hanoverian army was sent into the Netherlands, of which he took the command, and gained the battle of Dettingen ; but his son, the Duke of Cumberland, was unsuccessful at Fonteuoy. In 1745, Charles, son of the old Pretender, landed jn Scotland, for the purpose of making an attempt to gain the crown of his ancestors. After proclaim* ing his father king at Perth and Edinburgh, and defeating Sir J, Cope at Prestonpans, he marched into England, to within a hundred miles of the metropolis. He then returned into Scotland, and overcame General Bawley at Falkirk, but was at last defeated by the Duke of Cumberland at Culloden, and after suffering gre:t hardships, made his escape into France ; and some of his adherents being taken, suffered death as traitors. The war was put an end to by the treaty of Aix-la-chapelle, This treaty was little more than a temporary truce, as war was soon revived with the French, for the possession of Canada. This war at its commencement was unsuccessful, but the celebrated William Pitt, afterwards Earl of Chatham, being placed at the head of affairs, under his auspices Quebec was taken by the gallant Wolfe, who died in the hour of victorythis led to the possession of Canada, &c» The country after this was plunged into a contir nental war; and while victory was attending its arms by sea and land, the king was suddenly taken ill, and died on the twenty-fifth of October, 1760, in the seventy-seventh year of his age, and thirty* third of his reign, Eminent men in this reign .-—Admiral Hawke; General "Wolfe j William Pitt, Earl of Chatham; Lord Hardwiek; lienry PeU ham; Pope; Thomson ; Young, �18 GEORGE III,, Reigned 59 Years. Son of Frederick, Prince of Wales, succeeded his grandfather, George II, The Earl of Bute in a short time was placed at the head of the administration ; and although the war continued to he successfully carried on, it was terminated by an unpo* pular peace in 1763, and was succeeded by a time of popular discontent. The disputes with our American colonies, which had commenced before this, still continued, and the first blood was shed at Lexington on the nineteenth of April, 1775. The contest now seemed inevitable; preparations were made by the Americans on every hand, whilst reinforcements were sent to the army from Britain, An engagement took place at Bunker's hill, and although the Americans were worsted, both sides suffered severely, George Washington was elected general of the American army, and Congress, which had assembled some time before, published a de« �19 claration o i independence on the fourth of July, 1776. The Americans were unsuccessful in the south, but in the north, General Burgoyne surrendered to General Gates at Saratoga, who after this was enabled to send reinforcements to Washington in fthe south, which made him more than a match for his opponents. France after this acknowledged the independence of the United States, and was followed by Spain and Holland. In 1780 some serious riots took place in London, in consequence of the repeal of certain penal laws against the Roman Catholics^ when after destroying Romish chapels, burning the prisons, &c., the rp<ob were dispersed after a great many of .their numbers were killed and wounded. In America Lord Cornwallis was attacked by the armies of France and America at York-town, and forced to surrender. The French navy was almost entirely destroyed by Rodney's victory over Count de Grasse, in the West Indies. At home, Lord North, not being supported by parliament, resigned ; and after other ministerial changes, the independence of the United States was acknowledged, and peace concluded in 1783, After this, the celebrated Williaifi Pitt, second son of William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, came into office. In 1788 the king was seized with a serious ilkiess, which unfitted him, for the duties of government; and after some warm debates about a regency, he unexpectedly recovered, After this; one of the most importajit events recorded in history took place; that is the French Revolution, to attempt to give any account of which would far exceed our limits ; suffice it to say, that it produced a war in which Great Britain took a prominent part. The French, who had put their king and his queen to death, and established a �20 republic, were generally successful by land ; the British, on the other hand, being victorious at sea, iintil peace was concluded at Amiens in 1802. After a rebellion had been suppressed, a legislative union took place between Great Britain and Ireland, which commenced January first, 1800. Before the peace, Napoleon Bonaparte had risen to eminence in France, and was now at the head of the government, by the title of first consul. The peace was of very short continuance, as war broke out again in 1803. Bonaparte commenced the war with great vigour and soon succeeded in shutting out Britain from the continent, after having assumed the title of emperor. The naval triumphs of Britain were now consummated by the victory of Trafalgar, which was dearly won, as Lord Nelson lost his life. After being victorious over the Austrians at Austerlitz, and the Prussians at Jena, Napoleon had arrived at the highest pinnacle of power ; but he was soon destined to meet with great reverses. In 1810 the king was attacked by that malady from which he formerly suffered ; and the Prince of Wales was placed at the head of government, with the title of Prince Regent, It was under the regency that Napoleon, after suffering great reverses in Spain and Russia, was compelled to abdicate his throne, and after an attempt to regain it, was finally overcome by the allied army, commanded by the Duke of Wellington, at Waterloo. George III. died at Windsor on the twenty-ninth of January, 1820, in the eighty-second year of his age: his son, the Duke of' Kent, died on the twenty-third of the same month. Eminent men in this rtign :—Duke of Bedford ; Duke of folk ; William Pitt; Charles Fox; Edmund Burke. �21 GEORGE IV. Having been several years in posssession of sovereign power, his accession to the throne produced no political change of importance. He married, in 1795, his cousin, Caroline of Brunswick; but a separation soon took place, and a secret investigation into her conduct, some years afterwards, terminated in acquittal. After this, she quitted England, and spent her time mostly in travelling. On the king's accession to the throne, some evidence collected by a commission which had sat at Milan, was made a pretext for omitting her name in the Liturgy, and thereby refusing her the honour due to her rank. Having determined to return to England, she arrived in London on the very day that a message was sent to both houses of parliament, demanding that her conduct should ba made the subject of investigation. A bill of pains and penalties was introduced into the Lords, and the �22 trial lasted forty .five days ; but on tlie third reading of the bill, ministers having a very small majority, abandoned it. Whilst these proceedings continued, the public mind was greatly agitated, and continued so during the remainder of the life of that unfortunate lady. The coronation of the king took place in August, 1821, when the queen's claim to participate in that ceremony being rejected, she presented herself at the doors of Westminster Abbey, and was refused admittance ; when the cerenlony went on without interruption. Her death soon followed this event. Immediately after his coronation, his majesty visited Dublin, where he met with a most loyal welcome. Shortly after his return, he visited his Hanoverian dominions, and after a short stay returned to England. After the termination of the session of parliament in 1822, he visited Edinburgh, where he was received by all classes of his Scottish subjects, with the greatest enthusiasm. Nothing of sufficient importance occurred abroad to be noticed in this summary. The Duke of York, heir presumptive to the throne, died January fifth, 1827, sincerely lamented by the army, of which he had long been commander-in-chief, and had deservedly acquired the appellation of "the soldiers'friend." After this, the domestic event of greatest importance that took place, was the Roman Catholic* emancipation act, which removed certain disabilities under which they laboured; the bill having received the royal assent on the thirteenth of April, 1829. George IY. died at Windsor Castle on the twenty-fifth of June, 1830, having reigned ten years; but previous to his father's death, he held supreme power for about ten years, under the title of Prince Regent, �23 WILLIAM IV. Succeeded his brother George, to the general satisfaction of all classes of his subjects. During his whole reign of nearly seven years, the nation enjoyed tranquillity both at home and abroad. The most inportant event of this reign, indeed, the most important political occurrence since the revolution, was the passing of the reform bill in 1832. William for some time continued his brother's ministers in office ; but the demand for a reform in the representation of the people, which had long been made, could no longer be resisted, and the premier, the Duke of Wellington, having declared himself opposed to any measure of reform, the Whigs, with Earl Grey, at their head, were called to office, and immediately introduced the reform bill, which, after a hard contest, they succeeded in carrying. William died on the twentieth of January, 1837 ; having reigned nearly seven years �VICTORIA, 1819. Reign Jan. 20, 1839. Only daughter of Edward, Duke of Kent, succeeded her uncle, William IV, On her accession, all parties and classes of her subjects united in testifying their affection for their youthful sovereign. Her majesty was married February 10th, 1840, to Prince Albert, second son of Ernest, Duke of Saxe Coburg and Gotha; and has issue, Victoria Adelaide Maria Louisa, Princess Royal, born November 21st, 1840 ; Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, born November 9th, 1841; Princess Alice Maud Mary, born April 25th, 1843; Prince Alfred Ernest Albert, born August 6th, 1844. • Long live the Queen. May her reign be prosperous. The number of eminent men who have flourished in the last three reigns, has been so great, and their names so well known, that we have declined making a choice, and thereforehave omitted them altogether. � Document A resource containing textual data.

GLASGOW: P R I N T E D FOR T H E B O O K S E L L E R S . 1850. ��LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. B O N A P A R T E was born at Ajaccio on the 15th of August, 1768. In early youth, he was adroit, lively, and agile in the extreme, and had acquired, it is said, a complete ascendancy over his elder brother, Joseph, who was often beaten and illtreated ; if complaints were carried to the mother, she usually advocated the part of Napoleon, and seldom allowed Joseph to speak in his own defence. The French government, regarding education as one of the most efficacious means of modifying the national character, and attaching the rising generation to the interests of France, decided that a certain number of young Corsicans, belonging to families possessing the greatest influence, should be educated in French seminaries; and Napoleon was, in consequence, entered as king's scholar in the military school of Brienne. On entering' the school of Brienne, Napoleon had attained his tenth year, at which tender period of life, he displayed a very marked character. Unlike other boys, the sports of infancy were uncongenial to his opening mind; he courted the shades of solitude, and gloom was familiar to his soul. Impressed'with such sentiments, his company was little sought by his fellow students, and when he did appear among them, his presence threw a damp upon their occupations, as he invariably addressed them in the language of NAPOLEON �]4 LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONA PAIJTE. admonition, rather than joining in the pastimes of youth. Such a singularity of temper was accompanied by many traits of genius, when that particular science presented itself which rivetted his whole attention; no sooner were the first principles of mathematics taught Napoleon by his preceptor, Father Patrault, than he applied himself with such unremitting assiduity, that his progress kept pace with the eager thirst he had evinced after knowledge. That branch was immediately followed by fortification, and the other military sciences, to all of which the student attached himself with undiminished ardour ; while his hours of amusement were spent in perusing the histories of ancient Rome and Greece, whose instructive pages constituted an inexhaustible source of recreation and delight. So great was Bonaparte's ardour for improvement, that, even while at school, he never suffered a day to pass wTith satisfaction to himself, in which he did not find his ideas extended and his knowledge increased. Thanking his mother, in one of his letters, for the great care she had manifested in forwarding his education and future advancement, he made use of the following emphatic words : — " With my sword by my side, and Homer in my pocket, I hope to carve m.y way through the world." When about seventeen years of age, Napoleon had a narrow escape for his life. While swimming in the Seine, the cramp seized him, and after several ineffectual struggles, he sank. At the moment in question, he subsequently declared, that he had experienced the sensations of dying, and lost all recollection. However, after sinking, the current forced him upon a sandbank, where he lay senseless for some time, till restored to animation by the aid of his young companions, who had witnessed the accident. In the first instance, they had given him up for lost, not �]5 LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONA PAIJTE. conceiving that the current would have conveyed him to such a distance In 1783, Napoleon was one of the scholars who, at the annual competition at Brienne, was appointed to be sent to the military school at Paris, in order to finish his education; M. Keralio, the inspector at Brienne, being particularly attached to young Napoleon. In the year 1785, Bonaparte was admitted into the artillery; and proceeded from the military school at Paris to the regiment de la Ferre in quality of second lieutenant. Born amidst a republican contest in his native island, it became his destiny to burst into manhood at the moment when the country of his choice had engaged in that struggle which opened a boundless field for the military adventurer; there being much in his habits and manners applicable to the situation allotted him. From the period when Bonaparte had the command of a battalion in Corsica, 1791, until tire beginning of 1793, with some short intermissions, he was occupied in pursuing his studies, in mathematics, and going through the ordinary routine of his profession. Upon joining his regiment at Valence, Napoleon was introduced to Madame Colombier, a lady about fifty years of age, endowed with many estimable qualities, and one of the most distinguished personages in the place, who entertained a great regard for the young artillery officer By that ladv, Bonaparte waa introduced to the Abbe de St. Ruffe, a man of considerable property, who associated with the most distinguished persons in the environs ; and the same female frequently prognosticated that Napoleon would use to eminence. Iler death took place on the breaking out of the revolution, an event in which she had taken very great interest, nor did the emperor ever speak of Madame Colombier, but with expressions of the tenderest gratitude. �]6 LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONA PAIJTE. On liis return to Corsica, after the memorable 10th of August, of the same year, Bonaparte at length found an opportunity for the exercise of his military talents. France being proclaimed a Republic, was threatened and attacked by all the powers of Europe. More than a million of Republicans flew to arms, and, in a short time, the Frencli forces appeared on the territories of those powers who had been expulsed from the soil of France. Belgium was conquered ; Savoy invaded; while a fleet had sailed from Toulon, under the orders of Admiral Truguet Bonaparte was entrusted with that expedition, which seized upon the island and fort St. Etienne, as well as the Isle de la Madeleine, belonging to the King of Sardinia. He was, however, soon compelled to evacuate those places, as the disasters sustained by the fleet had affected the success of the whole expedition. Nothing could be more deplorable than Bonaparte's prospects at the period in question; and nothing more uncertain than his future destiny. He, notwithstanding, felt a persuasion that Fortune might not always abandon him; and was well aware a vast scene still lay open to his views. It was then he was heard to ejaculate—" In a revolution, a soldier should never despair, if he possesses courage and genius." Having re-entered the corps of artillery, Napoleon passed as first lieutenant in the fourth regiment of that corps, and, a few months after, rose by right of seniority, to the rank of captain, in the second company of the same corps, then in garrison at Nice. This occured in 1793, and subsequent to this period his name attracted general notice throughout France. The mercantile town of Toulon having been threatened by the so-termed Jacobinical party, the citizens implored the aid of the English and Spanish admirals —Lord Hood and Gravina, who were cruising of¥ their port; and several battalions of marines were in consequence sent for their protection. Toulon thus �]7 LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONA PAIJTE. declared itself for the ancient colours of France, and being thus in possession of the above-named powers, the French assembled an army of thirty thousand men, prepared for a siege. Bonaparte not only performed all that could be expected of him, but frequently rectified the errors of others, and displayed the superiority of his genius to more than one officer officiating as his superior in rank. Preserving his dignity with the representatives sent by the Convention to Toulon, as in regard to every one else, he trusted such self-confidence would be justified by ultimate success. One of the representatives having made some observation upon the position of a battery, " Look to your own business," said Bonaparte, " and leave me to follow mine. The battery must remain where it is; I will answer for its effect with my head.', In the heat of the action, Bonaparte was at all times officer and soldier ; on the capture of a redoubt, fighting near Marshal Suchet, then only a captain, he undertook to load a- gun, at which an artillery man had just been killed, and making use of the ramrod whilst it was warm, contracted a disease that returned for a length of time, under a variety of forms; this feat he often recollected, as having been one of the first of his military career. The general attack of the besiegers was made upon Toulon, from the land side, on the 16th of December; when neither the severity of the season, nor the unceasing wetness of the weather, could damp the impetuosity of the French troops; those exhausted by fatigue being continually supplied by fresh reinforcements, during this protracted assault, which continued the major part of the siege. The principal redoubt, defended by two thousand men, was carried on the 17th, though protected by a double row of palisadoes, an intrenched camp, and a cross fire from three batteries. Bonaparte afterwards established a battery upon the promontory of Aigui- �]8 LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONA PAIJTE. lette, which commanded the English fleet; and other positions, occupied by the English, upon the mountains, were carried at the point of the bayonet. Ultimately compelled to abandon the place, the British retired in the night, and on the 20th of December, the French re-entered Toulon, when they inflicted dreadful vengeance on the royalists left in the city. The rank of general of brigade was the reward conferred upon Bonaparte, for his services at the siege of Toulon. In 1795, he was appointed General-in-chief of the army, and about the same time, his marriage with Josephine took place. In February, 1796, the army in Italy might be considered as having no leader, and Napoleon was chosen, ss the only man capable of extricating the army from the embarassing situation in which it was placed. Free from the restraint he had so long felt in the sapital, Napoleon soon gave full scope to that genius which required an ample theatre for action. His departure from Paris, to commence the celebrated Italian campaign of 1796, took place on the 21st of March, when he was the only individual that did not feel astonished at his good fortune. An intimate friend, congratulating him upon that appointment, fiaving testified some surprise at his youth, Bonaparte drily made answer, " I shall return old." At the period in question, the King of Sardinia, who, from the military and geographical situtation of his dominions, was called the " Porter of the Alps," possessed strong fortresses at the opening of all the passages leading into Piedmont. The French army of Italy was then about thirty-one thousand strong, while nearly three times that number were opposed to them, having two hundred pieces of cannon. The character of the French troops was excellent, but the cavalry wretchedly mounted, and very deficient in artillery. They possessed no means of transporting military stores from the arsenals; all the draught �]9 LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONA PAIJTE. horses having perished through want. The poverty of the French finances was so great, that every effort resorted to by government was only capable of furnishing two thousand louis in specie to the military chest; while an order was issued for all the general officers to receive the wretched pittance of four louis each, by way of outfit. The supply of bread was uncertain, that of meat had long ceased; as for the purposes of conveyance, there remained only two hundred mules, and it was consequently impossible to think of transporting more than twelve pieces of cannon. Bonaparte, thus critically circumstanced, having put the army in motion, issued the following laconic address : — u Soldiers! you are naked and ill fed; much is due, and there is nothing wherewith to pay. The patience and courage you have displayed amidst these rocks are admirable; but they acquire you no glory. I come to conduct you to the most fertile plains in the world: rich provinces, great cities, shall be in your power. There you will acquire wealth, honour, and glory. Soldiers of Italy! can your courage fail ?"—Such was the address disseminated among the troops on the 29th of March; and, on the 8th of April, he was within a day's march of Turin, when, having subdued the Sardinian government, he issued the following document:— " In fifteen days you have gained six victories, taken twenty-one stand of colours, fifty-five pieces of cannon, and conquered the richest territory of Piedmont. Your services are equal to those of the army of Holland and the Rhine. You were in want of every thing, and have provided every thing. You have gained battles without cannon; traversed rivers without bridges; made forced marches without shoes; bivouacked without brandy, and often without bread. None but republican phalanxes could have thus acquitted themselves. For this you have the merited thanks of your country." �]10 LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONA PAIJTE. After a brilliant series of triumphs, Bonaparte returned to Paris on the 20th of November, 3 797? where he was hailed with the most rapturous applause by the people. The most magnificent preparations were made for his reception; entertainments were everywhere given him; the sky resounded with the reiterated shout— u Long live the general of the army of Italy;" he obtained a seat in the Institute, and the troops returning to France made him the subject oi their songs. Still, howTever, he was dissatisfied with -the position he held. " I see (said he) if I loiter here, I am done for quickly. Here, every thing grows flat; my glory is already on the wane. We must to the East." It has been asserted that in the early part of 1798, Bonaparte was commissioned " to prepare operations for invading England." With this object in view, he made a most minute examination of the coast, and continued to question sailors, pilots, smugglers, and fishermen, till he found the hazard of such an enterprise was too great. An army, however, was raised, and, to cover any future design of Napoleon, it was called u The army of England." W e now touch upon one of the most momentous periods of Bonaparte's astonishing career; we mean his invasion of Egypt, which under every point of view, may rank as a prodigy of human daring. On the 20th of May, 1798, General Bonaparte put to sea, from the harbour of Toulon, on board L'Orient, of 120 guns, bearing the flag of Admiral Bruyes, for the purpose of taking the command of a fleet, which was collecting from the different ports under the dominion of the Republic of France. The voyage commenced with a propitious wind, and the first operation was the taking of Malta. During the continuance of the French fleet at Malta, it is said that the intelligence first reached Bonaparte that Nelson, having penetrated his design, was in �]11 LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONA PAIJTE. pursuit of him. During the night of the 22nd of June, (the French having departed from Malta on the 19th), the English fleet passed within six leagues of the French fleet! What myriads of human beings would have been preserved had Nelson that night espied his enemy. The squadron, however, escaped, and on the 30th arrived safe before Alexandria. The French immediately commenced an attack upon the town, which capitulated, after a dreadful carnage. From Alexandria the army took the road to Cairo, and, on the morning of the 10th of July, came in sight of the Pyramids. Napoleon having issued his orders, placed himself in front of his army, and "with extended arm, pointing to the Pyramids, exclaimed in the most vehement manner : " Soldiers, think, that from the summits of those monuments, forty ages are at this moment surveying our conduct!" The army, full of enthusiasm, cried out to be led to action; when, being speedily ranged in order of battle, a decisive victory over the quadruple numbers of the enemy was the consequence. This brilliant victory was followed by the surrender of Cairo, on the 22nd of July. On the 1st of August, 1798, the battle of Aboukir, so fatal to the French navy, took place. On that momentous day for England, nine of the enemy's ships were captured, one frigate sunk ; while another vessel and frigate were burnt by their respective crews. Two ships and two frigates were all that escaped falling into the hands of the gallant Nelson. The effect produced by this maritime disaster, it is not for us to conceive. On the 11th February, 1799, the army marched for Syria, and after traversing the desert, which divides Africa from Asia, took possession of the fortress of El Arish. Gaza next became conquered, and on the 28th the army encamped before Jaffa (the Joppa of the scriptures) where the enemy had con- �]12 LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONA PAIJTE. siderable forces. The walls were carried by storm, 3,000 Turks died with arms in their hands, and the town was given up during three hours to the fury of the French soldiery. It was here Napoleon ordered 1,200 prisoners to be shot. The Pacha of Syria, Achmet-Dgezzar, having fortified St. Jean d'Acre with a determination to defend it to the last, Bonaparte pushed his troops forward, and on the 19th led his forces to an eminence which commanded Acre. This celebrated siege, which began on the 20th of March, 1799, was Napoleon's first encounter with an Englishman, and his first disgrace. The name of Sir Sydney Smith will be as immortal as that of the foe he vanquished, while the bravery of the English will be for ever exalted. The siege lasted sixty days, and, long before it was raised, the plague entered Bonaparte's camp, and every day his legions were thinned by the pestilence. The French army returned to Jaffa, May 24tli, and Bonaparte, finding that his hospitals were crowded with sick, sent for a physician, and entered into a long conversation with him respecting the danger of contagion, concluding at last with the remark, that something must be done to remedy the evil, and, that the destruction of the sick already in the hospital, was th£ only means which could be adopted ! The physician, alarmed at the proposal, remonstrated vehemently against the atrocity of such a murder; but finding that Bonaparte persevered and menaced, he indignantly left the tent. Bonaparte, however, wras not to be diverted from his object by moral considerations; he persevered, and found an apothecary, who consented to become his agent, and to administer poison to the sick. Opium at night was distributed in gratifying food! The wretched unsuspecting victims banqueted, and in a few hours, Jive hundred and eighty soldiers, who had �]13 LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONA PAIJTE. suffered so much for their country,perished thus misefably by the order of its idol! ! On the 23d of August, 1799, Napoleon conferred the command of the army on General Kleber, and returned to Paris. During his absence in Egypt, it is well known how much France missed his military genius, and with what rapturous acclamations he was hailed on his return. Many weighty motives existed for effecting a change at this critical period, which might have operated upon the mind of Bonaparte, or any other chief who had the good of his country at heart. He found its government enfeebled to the utmost impotence of childhood, the prey of perpetual caprice and revolutions. He found it without an army, and without the resources for procuring one. He found all public spirit evaporated, and the people in a state of civil war with each other. But, what was most wounding to the becoming pride of a warrior, he found all the conquests he had gained in Europe nearly wrested from his country, and subject to the severe requisitions of those armies lie had discomfited. Let us now mark the reverse: by a blow equally illegal, but equally necessary, he boldly put himself in possession of the supreme power, and in six months he new-modelledithe constitution, revived the national credit, re-animated the public spirit, and from every quarter concentrated the abilities of every man of talent and courage ; subdued every civil insurrection, and in six weeks, by gaining the battle of Marengo, re-conquered all that had been lost. Never was a campaign so well planned and so completely executed. The year 1800 terminated triumphantly for the French arms in Italy. And having made peace with Austria, Napoleon was now at liberty to bend his undivided attention towards England ; for whatever might be his hopes of effecting an important blow against this country, he knew the appearance might �]14 LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONA PAIJTE. assist him two ways: it would serve to keep the army employed, and furnish matter for the attention of the Parisians, who would thus be withdrawn from too close a consideration of his own newly-acquired power; and it would also compel us to be continually on the alert, gradually exhaust our resources, and pave the way for a general pacification. The leading features of the policy of Bonaparte towards England, at this crisis, appear to have been, to excite a confederacy against us among the maritime powers, and to exclude us from all the ports of Europe; then to attack Portugal, our only remaining ally, and if possible subdue her; and finally, by the continued threat of invasion, exhaust our patience and impoverish our finances. The progress of the Northern Confederacy became every day more marked; Russia, Sweden, Denmark, and Prussia, entered into it with avidity. Denmark had long been a pacific nation, never having been engaged in war for upwards of eighty years; it might, therefore, have been presumed that she would reluctantly enter the lists; yet it is remarkable that that power was the first, the last, and the only government, that was engaged in actual hostilities. Thus situated, early in March a powerful fleet was sent to the Baltic, under the command of Sir Hyde Parker and Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson, with a view of attacking the northern powers ere they could effect their meditated junction with the fleets of France and Holland. The English passed the Sound on the 13th of March, and reconnoitred the Road of Copenhagen, where the Crown-Prince, Regent of Denmark, had made formidable preparations to receive them. It was on the 2nd of April, that Nelson, who had volunteered to lead the assault, having at length obtained a favourable wind, advanced with twelve ships of the line, besides frigates and fire-ships, upon the Danish armament, which consisted of six �]15 LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONA PAIJTE. sail of the line, eleven floating batteries, and an enormous array of small craft, all chained to each other and to the ground, and protected by the Crown batteries, mounting eighty-eight guns, and the fortifications of the isle of Almack. The battle lasted for four hours, and ended in a signal victory. Some few schooners and bomb vessels fled early, and escaped : the whole Danish fleet, besides, were sunk, burnt, or taken. The Prince Regent, to save the capital from destruction, was compelled to enter into a negotiaation, which ended in the abandonment of the French alliance by Denmark. Lord Nelson then reconnoitered Stockholm ; but, being unwilling to inflict unnecessary suffering, did not injure the city, on discovering that the Swedish fleet had already put to sea. During the same month the British arms triumphed in Egypt, upon learning which, Bonaparte is said to have exclaimed—" Well, there remains only the descent on B r i t a i n a n d an immense flotilla of flatbottomed boats were prepared in the harbour of Boulogne, while an army of 100,000 troops were assembled on the coasts of France. The attack which Nelson made is no doubt already known to the reader, though that brave commander was unable to remove the flotilla, from the fact that the boats were chained to the shore, defended by long poles headed by spikes of iron projecting from their sides, and placed under land batteries, and protection of musketry from the shore. The daring attempt, however, was sufficient to prove to the French that they could not leave their harbours with impunity. But Bonaparte was alarmed at the successes of the English, while everything concurred to render peace desirable. A pacific disposition was accordingly manifested, and flags of truce, and flags of defiance, were actually displayed at the same time, and in the same strait ; so that �]16 LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONA PAIJTE. while Boulogne and Dunkirk were bombarded and blockaded by hostile squadrons, the ports of Dover and Calais were frequently visited by the packet boats, and the messengers of the courts of St, James and the Tuileries. At length Lord Hawkesbury, the English Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, after a long, but secret correspondence with M. Otto, announced on the first of October, the signature of the preliminaries of peace between England on the one part, and Spain, France, and Holland, on the other. This intelligence diffused universal satisfaction all over the kingdom. Amiens, the town assigned for the discussion of the definitive treaty, had been the residence for some months of the ministers of the respective powers. The treaty was signed on the 17th of March. Great Britain was now at peace with all the powers of Europe, and the least sanguine minds confidently predicted a continuance of amity with France, and the repose of the continent. Happy presages ! would they had been fulfilled ! ! On the 6th of May, 1802, the definitive treaty of Amiens was presented to the French Tribunate, on which occasion Bonaparte was elected First Consul for life. Unfortunately for the continuation of the promised happiness of this period, the war of words, which finally led to the rupture of the peace of Amiens, commenced soon after the treaty had been signed. In the month of July, M. Otto, the French minister at London, transmitted a note to Lord Hawkesbury, demanding, in the name of his government, the punishment of M. Peltier, for a gross libel which he had published on the First Consul and the whole French nation. To remove all grounds of complaint, an action was brought against Peltier who was found guilty; but the breaking out cf war prevented his being brought up for judgment. More important grounds of quarrel �]17 LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONA PAIJTE. were soon found to widen the breach. The French insisted on the evacuation of Malta, Egypt, and the Cape, to which Great Britain refused to accede. An angry diplomatic correspondence ensued, and in an interveiw with the British ambassador, Lord Whitworth, the wrath of Bonaparte broke out with great violence. In speaking of Egypt, he said, that if he had felt the smallest inclination to take possession of it by force, he might have done it a month ago, by sending 25,000 men to Aboukir. " This he should not do, whatever might be his desire to have it for a colony, because he did not think it worth the risk of a war; sooner or later Egypt would belong to France." " As a proof of his desire to maintain peace, he wished to know what he had to gain by going to war with England. A descent was the only means of defence he had, and that he was determined to attempt, by patting himself at the head of the expedition."—lie acknowledged there were a hundred chances to one against him, but still he was determined to attempt it, if war should be the consequence of the present discussion.—He then expatfated on the natural force of the two countries, France with an army of 480,000 men—and England with a fleet that made her mistress of the seas, might, by a proper understanding, govern the world, but by their strife will overturn it. Thus it appears that Malta was made the apple of discord, and the fatal brand by which the flames of war, scarcely extinguished, were again lighted up. On the 19th of May, 1803,Lord Whitworth arrived in London from Paris, and on the day preceding, his Britannic Majesty's declaration of war had been issued. In the course of a few days after this declaration had appeared, the First Consul gave orders for the seizure of ail British subjects in France, and in those countries occupied by the French armies. Upwards of 11,000 persons were said to have been ar- �]8 LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONA PAIJTE. rested in France, in consequence of this unexpected measure. These consisted of many of the nobility, commercial men, and travellers. The seizure of two French merchant vessels in the bay of Audierne, by two English frigates, was stated as the immediate cause of this retaliating measure. But neither internal conspiracies nor external wars, appear to have diverted the mind of the First Consul in the least from prosecuting the schemes of his ambition, to secure himself the permanent exercise of sovereign power. After the chief magistracy had been conferred on him for ten years, he seemed to think the title of First Consul was too simple to convey an adequate idea of the dignified elevation to which he had been raised. Equally ambitious of undivided power and titular splendour, heaspired to the Imperial purple. The measure of conferring on Bonaparte this rank and title, and making them hereditary in his family, according to the laws of primogeniture, was for the first time agitated in the Tribunate in the beginning of May, when the Tribunate proceeded to vote, "That Napoleon Bonaparte, the First Consul, be proclaimed Emperor of the French, and invested with the government of the French Republic. That the title of Emperor, and the Imperial power, be made hereditary in his family, in the male line, according to the order of primogeniture: that in introducing into the organization of the constituted authorities, the modifications rendered necessary by the establishment of hereditary power, the equality, the liberty, and the rights of the people, shall be preserved in all their integrity This decree was carried by acclamation, with the single exception of the vote of one member, who spoke against its adoption. On the 2nd of December, the ceremony of the coronation was celebrated with extraordinary pomp, in the cathedral of Notre Dame. In May, 1805, the storm that had again been raised �]19 LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONA PAIJTE. against France, began to overspread the political horizon. England persisted in her demands, and the Emperor was forced to accede to a precipitate opening of the campaign. Having made the necessary arrangements, he left Paris on the 24th of September, and arrived at Strasbourg on the 27th, w^here he awaited the arrival and concentration of the troops that were to form the grand army that he intended to conduct into Germany. Our space will not allow us to enumerate or describe the battles of Napoleon. He had long proposed to himself the conquest of Europe—of the world ; and his victories hitherto added intenseness to his purpose; but by the irretrievable disasters of the Russian campaign, this was effectually placed beyond his grasp. The tide of conquest had ebbed, never to return. The spell which had bound the nations was dissolved. He was no longer the Invincible. The weight of military power, which had kept down the spirit of nations, was removed, and their long-smothered sense of wrong and insult broke forth like the fires of a volcano, Bonaparte might still, perhaps, have secured the throne of France; but that of Europe was gone. After the battle of Paris, he was obliged to sign the unqualified resignation of the throne, but he retained the title of Emperor, with Elba for his residence. He shortly after embarked for that island, and on his arrival there his mind was immediately applied to completing the fortification of his capital, improving the public roads, and adding to the agricultural resources of the island. When the Emperor received the visits of strangers, which often happened, he entered freely into conversation. He frequently spoke of his last campaign, of his views and hopes, the defection of his marshals, the capture of Paris, and his abdication, with great earnestness; exhibiting, in rapid succession, traits of �]20 LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONA PAIJTE. eloquence, of military genius, indignation, and no small share of self-estimation. The position of Napoleon at Elba, within a few days' sail of France, was most favourable for intrigues, and a constant correspondence was maintained with his relations and adherents, from many of whom he received visits; and a conspiracy was soon formed, having for its object his return. The British Commissioner had no means of preventing an escape, even though he suspected it, and on the night of the 26th of February, 1815, Napoleon sailed for the French coast, and, on the 1st of March, disembarked in the Gulf of St. Juan. The news of the Emperor's landing did not reach Paris till the 5th of March, at night. It transpired on the 6th, and on the 7th a royal proclamation appeared in the Moniteur, convoking the chambers immediately. A decree was also issued, placing Napoleon, and all who should join him, out of the protection of the law. At two o'clock on the 20th of March, Napoleon set out foi* Paris ; but retarded by the crowd, and the felicitations of the troops and the generals who came to meet him, he could not reach it till nine in the evening. As soon as he alighted, the people rushed on him : a thousand arms bore him up, and carried him along in triumph to the Tuileries. The Emperor, though greatly fatigued by nocturnal marches, reviews, perpetual harrangues, and labours in the closet, which had, for thirty-six hours, occupied all his attention, determined, nevertheless, on reviewing the troops; after which he returned to his closet, and immediately applied himself to business. His situation rendered it essentially necessary for him to ascertain without delay the precise state of the country, the government of which he had thus unexpectedly resumed ; and so vast was the undertaking, that the faculties of any other man must have been overwhelmed. �]21 LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONA PAIJTE. Everything was in motion throughout France, so that it was augured, should tlft allies persist in the designs announced of making war on Napoleon, and violate the frontiers of France, the fruits of such an attempt on the rights of the nation would stimulate the population to make any sacrifice for the maintenance of national independence and the honour of the throne. Every day fresh offerings were deposited on the altar of the country, and new corps of volunteers, equally numerous and formidable, were established under the names of lancers, partizans, federates, mountain chasseurs, tiralleurs, &c. During the month of May, Napoleon having lost all hope of preserving peace, had been meditating upon a plan for the ensuing campaign. Two projects principally engaged his attention,—the first was to remain on the defensive, and by that means throw the odium of aggression upon the allies,—the second was to attack the allies before they could be in readiness to resist him He finally determined to interpose his forces in one mass between the armies of Wellington and Blucher, from which he anticipated great results, when opposed with 120,000 excellent troops to two hosts numbering together only 190,000. Under Blucher were 110,000, nearly all Prussians. Wellington had 80,000. Onefourth of his army were raw Belgian and Hanoverian levies, on which little reliance could be placed; but the horse and foot guards, the German legion, and several of the most distinguished Peninsular regiments were present. The allied generals remained inactive, and on the 15th of June, the French crossed the frontier, and moved on Charleroi, which the Prussians evacuated at their approach. Marshal Ney, with 46,000, moved on to Quatre Bras, while Napoleon himself, with 72,000, marched against the main Prussian army at Ligny. Napoleon awaited some time the approach of Ney, whom lie had directed, after �]22 LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONA PAIJTE. occupying Quatre Bras, to fall on the Prussians' rear; but as he did not? appear, the signal for attack was given at 4 p.m. For five hours two hundred pieces of ordnance deluged the field with blood; during which period, the French and Prussians, alternately vanquished and victors, disputed the ground hand to hand, and foot to foot, so that no less than seven times in succession, Ligny was taken and lost. The Prussians were driven from Ligny with the loss of 15,000 men and 2 J guns, besides 10,000 stragglers, while the loss of the French was scarcely 7,000. At Quatre Bras, an equally desperate conflict was raging between Wellington and Ney. On learning the defeat of the Prussians, however, the Duke fell back, on the morning of the 17th, through Gemappe to Waterloo. Napoleon meanwhile drew up his army on both sides of the road, from Charleroi to Brussels. The field on which the immortal strife was to be decided, extends about two miles from Hougoumont, on the right, to La Haye, on the left,—the great road from Brussels to Charleroi, running through the centre of the position, which is about three quarters of a mile south of the village of Waterloo, and three hundred yards in front of the farm house of Mont St. Jean. The British army occupied the crest of a range of eminences crossing the high road at right angles; while the French occupied a line of ridges on the opposite side of the valley. The night of the 17th was dreadful, and seemed to presage the calamities of the day, as the violent and incessant rains did not allow a moment's rest to the army. In the morning, the British army was still seen on its ground; and Napoleon who had feared they would retreat during the night, exclaimed with exultation—" At last I have them, those English!" Between 10 and 11 o'clock, Napoleon commenced a furious attack upon the British post at Hougoumont; but this important position was maintained through �]23 LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONA PAIJTE. the day with the utmost gallantry, notwithstanding the repeated efforts of large bodies of the enemy to obtain possession of it. The attack upon the right of the British centre was accomplished by a tremendous cannonade upon the whole line, from upwards of 200 pieces of artillery; and under cover of this fire, repeated attacks were made, first by infantry and cavalry together. The French continued to repeat their furious attacks, until about 7 in the evening, when their cavalry and infantry, supported by a tremendous fire of artillery, made a final and desperate attempt to force the left centre of the British army at La Haye Sainte. After a severe contest, their efforts were frustrated, and the Duke of Wellington now became the assailant. Having observed that their troops retired from their last* attack in great confusion, and that the Prussians were advancing, his Grace determined to attack the enemy, and immediately advanced the whole line of infantry, supported by the cavalry and artillery. The attack succeeded in every point; the enemy was forced from his position on the heights, and fled in the utmost confusion, leaving behind him 150 pieces of cannon with all their ammunition. Bonaparte, seeing the British horse mingled with the fugitives, became as pale as death, and exclaiming, " All is lost at present—let us save ourselves 1" galloped from the field. The Duke of Wellington continued the pursuit till long after dark, and ceased only on account of the fatigue of his troops wTho had been 12 hours engaged. Sixty pieces of cannon belonging to the Imperial guard, were the fruits of their vigorous pursuit, together with Napoleon's carriage, hat, sword, and papers. Thus terminated the battle of Waterloo, compared with which all former victories were unimportant. The Duke of Wellington and Prince Blucher marched forward in regular communication with each other, and on the 7th of July, entered Paris in triumph. �]24 LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONA PAIJTE. Napoleon meanwhile, after his abdication, spent six melancholy days at Malmaison, and, on the 29th of June, set out for Rochefort, which lie reached on 3d July, with several carriages laden with valuables. He intended to have embarked for America, but the port was so closely blockaded by an English squadron, that it was impossible for him to escape. After some hesitation, he resolved to throw himself on British generosity, and sent a letter to Captain Maitland of the Beilerophon, addressed to the Prince Regent, concluding with these words,"I put myself under the protection of the British laws, and claim it from your Royal Highness as the most powerful, the most constant, and the most generous of my enemies.'' Next day he went on board the Beilerophon, which immediately sailed for England. It had already been determined that he should be removed to St. Helena, and, in spite of his vehement remonstrances, he was transferred to the Northumberland, which sailed for that island, and arrived there on the 16th November. His captivity was not destined to be of long duration. The recollection of his lost greatness, aggravated a hereditary tendency to cancer in the stomach, of which he died on 5th May, 1821. His body, after lying in state, was interred 8th May, in the military dress he usually wore when alive, in a spot pointed out by himself, shaded by weeping willows, where a simple stone was placed over his remains. � Document A resource containing textual data.

A collection of ballads and songs that follow the theme of urging young folk to remain in their home villages rather than leave for work, love, or war. The first poem paints an idyllic scene of the rural countryside and village life, cautioning young men to avoid traveling abroad or seeking their fortunes elsewhere and instead urging them to stay home with their families and lovers. The second song satirizes the life of a soldier, depicting it as full of violence, suffering, sin, and unhappiness, suggesting that young men should avoid volunteering for the army. The third poem expresses disgust/hatred of drums and recruitment that lure young men from home to be killed in distant lands and wars, while the last item begins with a quote from Shakespeare on “Such Things Were” and reminisces on scenes of youth and growing up, lamenting those loved and lost.

To which are added, THE D r u n k e n E x c i s e m a n , AND C h e r r y R i p e . GLASGOW: PRINTED FOR THE BOOKSELLERS. �SIR NEIL AND GLENGYLE. I N yonder Isle, beyond Argyle, W h e r e flocks and herds were plenty, Lived a rich 'Squire, whose sister fair W a s the flower of all that country. A Knight, Sir Neil, had wooed her long, Expecting soon to marry ; A young Highland Laird his suit prefer'd, Y o u n g , handsome, brisk, and airy. L o n g she respected brave Sir Neil, Because he wooed sincerely, But as soon as she saw the young Glengyle, H e won her most entirely ; Till some lies unto her brother came, That Neil had boasted proudly, Of favours from that Lady young, W h i c h made him vow thus rudely. I swear by all our friendship past, Before this hour next morning, This Knight or me shall breathe our last, He shall know who he's scorning. �T o meet on the shore were the loud waves roar, In a challenge he defied him : Ere the sun was up, these young men met, N o living creature nigh them. W h a t ails, what ails my dearest friend ? Why want ye to destroy me I want no flattery, base Sir Neil, But draw your sword and try me. W h y should I fight with you, M ' V a n , Y o u ne'er have me offended ; A n d if I aught to you have done, I'll own m y fault and mend it. Is this your boasted courage, knave ? W h o would not now despise thee ? But if thou still refuse to fight, I'll like a d o g chastise thee. Forbear, fond fool, tempt not thy fate ; Presume not now to strike me, There's not a man in all Scotland, Can wield the broad sword like me. Combined with guilt, thy wond'rous skill From fate shall not defend thee; M y sister's wrongs shall brace my arms, This stroke to death shall send thee. But this, and many a well aimed blow, T h e generous Baron warded, Being loath to harm so dear a friend, Himself he only guarded : Till mad, at being sore abused, A furious push he darted, W h i c h pierced the brains of bold M ' V a n , W h o with a groan departed. ? �4 Curse on my skill!—what have I done ! Rash man !—but thou would have it : Y o u have forced a friend to take thy life, W h o would have bled to save it. W h y should I mourn for this sad deed, Since now it can't be mended ? M y happiness that seemed so nigh, B y one rash stroke is ended. A n exile into some strange land, T o fly I know not whither ! I must not see my lovely Ann, Since I have slain her brother ! But casting round his mournful eyes, T o see if none were nigh them ; There he espied the young Glengyle, W h o like the wind came flying. I ' m come too late to stop the strife, But since thou art victorious, I'll be revenged, or lose my l i f e ; M y honour bids me d o this. I know your bravery young Glengyle, Though of life I ' m now regardless, W h y am I forced my friends to kill ? See brave M ' V a n lies breathless. Unhappy lad, put up thy blade, T e m p t me no more I pray thee ; This sword that pierced the 'Squire so rude, Soon in the dust shall lay thee. Does it b e c o m e so brave a Knight ? D o e s blood so much affright thee ? Glengyle shall ne'er disgrace thy sword, Unsheath it then and fight me. �5 Again with young Glengyle he closed, Intending not to harm him ; Three times with gentle wounds him pierced, Y e t never could disarm him. Y i e l d up your sword to me, G l e n g y l e : What on is our quarrel grounded ? I could have pierced thy dauntless heart, Each time I have thee wounded. But if thou thinkest me to kill, In faith thou art mistaken; So if thou scorns to yield thy sword, In pieces straight I'll break it. W h i l e talking thus he quit his guard, Glengyle in haste advanced, A n d pierced his generous manly breast, T h e spear behind him glanced ! Then d o w n he fell, and cries I ' m slain ! Adieu to all things earthly ! A d i e u , Glengyle, the day's thy own, But thou has gained it basely. W h e n tidings came to Lady A n n , T i m e after time she fainted ! She ran and kissed their clay cold lips, A n d thus their fate lamented. Illustrious brave, but hapless men, This horrid sight does move me M y dearest friends rolled in their blood, T h e men that best did love me ! O thou the guardian of my youth, M y dear and only brother! F o r this thy most untimely fate, I'll mourn till life is over. ! �6 And brave Sir Neil, how art thou fall'n, And withered in thy blossom, N o more I'll love the treacherous man That pierced my hero's bosom. A kind and tender heart was thine, T h y friendship was abused ; A braver man ne'er faced a foe, Had thou been fairly used. F o r thee a maid I'll live and die, Glengyle shall ne'er espouse me ; A n d for the space of seven long years, T h e d o w y black shall clothe me, THE DRUNKEN EXCISEMAN. I K N O W that young folks like to hear a new song, Of something that's funny and not very long, It is of an Exciseman the truth I will tell, W h o thought that one night he was going to hell. Fal de lal, &c. �7 One night he went out to look for his prey, H e did meet with some smugglers, as I heard them say, In tasting the liquors they were going to sell, T h e Exciseman got drunk, the truth I will tell. H e got so intoxicated he fell to the ground, A n d like a fat sow was forced to lie down, Just nigh to a coal pit the Exciseman did lie. W h e n four or five colliers by chance did c o m e by, T h e y shouldered him up and hoised him away, Like a pedlar's pack, without any delay ; Into the bucket they handed him down, T h i s j o l l y Exciseman they got under ground. T h e Exciseman awakened with terrible fear, Upstarted a collier, says, what brought you here ? Indeed Mr. Devil, I don't very well know, But I think I am come to the regions below. Says the collier, what was you in the world above ? I was an Exciseman and few did me love : I n d e e d Mr. Devil the truth I will tell, Since I've got here, I'll be what you will. Since you're an Exciseman, here you must remain, Y o u will never get out of this dark cell again ; The gates they are fast, and bind you secure. A l l this you must suffer for robbing the poor. Indeed Mr. Devil if you'll pity me, N o more will I rob the poor you shall s e e ; If you will look over, as you've done b e f o r e I never will rob the poor any more. �8 C o m e give me your money, which now I demand Before you can get to the christian land, O yes, Mr. Devil, the Exciseman did say, I wish to get back, for to see light of day. C H E R R Y RIPE. C H E R R Y ripe, cherry ripe, ripe I c r y ; Full and fair ones come and buy. Cherry ripe, cherry ripe, ripe I cry ; Full and fair ones come and buy. I f so be you ask me where They do grow, I answer there, W h e r e the sunbeams sweetly smile, There's the land or cherry isle. Cherry ripe, &c. W h e r e the sunbeams sweetly smile, There's the land of cherry isle. There plantations fully show All the year where cherries grow.

GLASGOW: P R I N T E D F O R THE B O O K S E L L E R S . 51 �S O N G S THE SAILOR'S EPITAPH. Here, a sheer hulk, lies poor Tom Bowling, The darling of our crew ; No more he'll hear the tempest howling, For death has brought him to. His form was of the manliest beauty. His heart was kind and soft; Faithful below he did his duty, And now he's gone aloft. Tom never from his word departed, His virtues were so rare ; His friends were many and true-hearted— His Poll was kind and fair. And then he'd sing so blithe and jolly, Ah ! many's the time and oft; But mirth is turn'd to melancholy, For Tom is gone aloft. Yet shall poor Tom find pleasant weather, When He, who all commands, Shall give, to call life's crew together. The word to pipe all hands. Thus death, who kings and tars despatches, In vain Tom's life has doff'd ; For tho' his body's under hatches, His soul is gone aloft. �3 BLUE-EYED MARY. As I walked out one May morning, The flowers they were a-springing, I met a fair maid by the way, She being so sweetly singing. I did salute this pretty fair maid, It being so brisk and airy, She appeared to be a venus bright, Was the charming blue-eyed Mary. Where are yon going, my pretty maid, This summer morning early ? I am going to milk my cows, And then to mind my dairy. Shall I go with you, my pretty maid ? She answered me so cheerily, Just as ye please, kind sir, says she, Replied the blue-eyed Mary. We were walking over the flowery field, The flowers they were a-springing, Down on a mossy bank we sat, Where the larks were sweetly singing. Down on the mossy bank we sat, I'm sure no one was near me, So there I kiss'd the ruby lips Of my charming blue-eyed Mary. �4 O now you've had your will of me, Kind sir, O do not leave me ; For if I should prove with child by thee. My parents they will slight me. O then I kiss'd her rosy cheeks, Soon as these words she'd spoken, I gave to her a diamond ring, To keep now as a token. I said, fair maid, I must begone, My ship will sail so early, I'll prove as true as a turtle-dove, To you, my blue-eyed Mary. When six long weeks were gone and past, No letter came to Mary ; She often view'd her diamond ring, When she was in her dairy. She was crossing o er the flowery fields Next Monday morning early, A sailor stepped up to her, Saying, how are you, my Mary? For I am now return'd from sea— Forsake your cows and dairy, And I'll make you my lawful bride, My charming blue-eyed Mary, She went with him without delay, Forsook her cows and dairy, �5 And he made her a captain's bride, The charming blue-eyed Mary. G R E E N BUSHES. When I was a-walking one morning in May, To hear the birds whistle, and nightingales play, I heard a young damsel, so sweetly sung she, Down by the green bushes, where he thinks to meet me. I'll buy you fine beavers, and fine silken gowns, I'll buy you fine petticoats flounc'd to the ground, If you will prove loyal and constant to me, Forsake your own true love, and marry with me. I want none of your beavers and fine silken hose. For I ne'er was so poor as to marry for clothes ; But I will prove loyal and constant to thee, Forsake my own true love, and married we'll be. Come let us be going, kind sir, if you please, Come, let us be going from under these trees, For yonder is coming my true love I see, Down by the green bushes, where he thinks to meet me. But when he got there and found she was gone, He stood like some lambkin left quite forlorn ; She's gone with some other, and forsaken me, So adieu to the green bushes, for ever adieu. �6 I'll be like some school-boy, spend my time in play, For I never was so foolishly deluded away, There's no false-hearted woman shall serve me so more, So adieu to the green bushes, it's time to give o'er. BLACK-EYED SUSAN, All in the Downs the fleet lay moor'd, The streamers waving in the wind, When black-eyed Susan came on board, Oh! where shall I my true love find ? Tell me, ye jovial sailors, tell me true, If my sweet William sails among your crew ? William, who high upon the yard, Rock'd with the billows to and fro, Soon her well-known voice he heard, He sighed, and cast his eyes below. The cord slides swiftly through his glowing hands, And quick as lightning on the deck he stands. O Susan, Susan, lovely dear! My vows shall ever true remain ; Let me kiss off that falling tear, We only part to meet again. Change as ye list, ye winds, my heart shall be The faithful compass that still points to thee. Though battle calls me from thy arms, Let not my pretty Susan mourn ; �7 Though cannons roar, yet safe from harms, William shall to his dear return ; Love turns aside the balls that round me fly, Lest precious tears should drop from Susan's eye The boatswain gave the dreadful word, The sails their swelling bosoms spread, No longer must she stay on board ; They kissed—she sighed—he hung his head. Her lessening boat unwilling rows to land, Adieu ! she cried, and waved her lily hand. THE SONG OF THE OLDEN TIME There's a song of the olden time, Falling sad o'er the ear, Like the dream of some village chime, Which in youth we lov'd to hear. And even amidst the grand and gay, When Music tries her gentlest art, I never hear so sweet a lay, Or one that hangs so round my heart, As that song of the olden time, Falling sad o'er the ear, Like the dream of some village chime Which in youth we lov'd to hear. And when all this life is gone— Even the hope lingering now, Like the last of the leaves left on Autumn's sear and faded bough— �8 'Twill seem as still those friends were near Who loved me in youth's early day, If in that parting hour I hear The same sweet notes—and die away To that song of the olden time, Breath'd like Hope's farewell strain, To say, in some brighter clime, Life and youth will shine again. ROY'S WIFE. Roy's wife of Aldivalloch, Roy's wife of Aldivalloch, Wat ye how she cheated me As I came o'er the braes of Balloch ? She vow'd, she swore she wad be mine, She said she lo'ed me best of ony ; But ah, the fickle, faithless queen, She's ta'en the carle and left her Johnnie. Roy's wife, &c. Oh she was a canty queen, And weel could dance the Highland walloch ; How happy I, had she been mine, Or I'd been Roy of Aldivalloch, Roy's wife, &c. Her hair sae fair, her een sae clear, Her wee bit mou' sae sweet and bonnie To me she ever will be dear, Though she's for ever; left her Johnnie.

R O B E R T S O N , SA L T MA R K ET, 1801. �(2) THE S I E G E of CARRICK-FERGUS. F R o m D u n k i r k in France in the month of September, fitted out was a fleet, a n d away they did sail, A n d Monsieur T h u r o t being their only commander, they had for their headsman, were sure not t o fail. S o away they did steer, without dread or fear, they robbed and plund'red all ships t h a t they found, U n t i l that they came up by the coast of Ireland, and landed their men upon the Irish ground. I t was at Carrick-Fergus, t h e north of that k i n g d o m , they landed their men, & march'd up to their walls, Then cried out the brave Col'nel Jennings, my boys, let's salute t h e m with powder and balls. S o the battle began, and the guns they did rattle, and bravely they f o u g h t under J e n n i n g ' s c o m m a n d , Says he, Play a w a y , play on my brave boys, the Monsieur's the force of our fire cannot s t a n d . T h e town they did take without any resistance, the castle they thought was as easy like wise : T h e y came marching up in three grand divisions, but guarded it was by the brave Irish boys. T h e y kept constant fire, and made them retire, till their ammunition entirely was done ; T h e n aloud he did s a y , M y boys, l e t ' s away, and we'll sally out upon them sword in hand. B u t then says our General, H o w can we defend it ? for to make a sally, it is but in vain ; A s our ammunition is entirely expended, therefore we'll submit and good terms obtain : F o r plainly you see, for one there is three, therefore it is better to capitulate ; I f they take it by s t o r m , then by the law of arms, death without mercy shall sure be our fate. �( 3) S o t h e Monsieurs obtained possession of C a r r i c k , where they lay a snorting and d r i n k i n g a while ; T h e people they sorely did ransack and plunder, and hoisted it all on board the Beleisle. B u t brave Elliot met them, not away he would let them, but made them yield back their ill g o t t e n s t o r e ; So Monsieur laments in the deepest condition, for now they can b r a g of their Thurot no more. L e t us praise brave Elliot who gained this action, and s i n g t o his praise in t h e joyfulest song, T h a t we of our foes have g o t satisfaction, and T h u r o t lies r o t t i n g near the Isle of M a n . T h e i r general is wounded, their schemes are confounded, T h e bold British T a r s they can never w i t h s t a n d ; T h e fire of the fierce and bold British L i o n , appeared to t h e m under brave C a p t a i n Bland.

Y e s , there's death in one hand, no mercy in the other, bloody news & express just arriv'd from Whitehall ; B y my shoul cousin Johnny I believe they're coming, the man he cries out w e l l be press'd one and all. B y my shoul cousin John if the Spaniards invade us, and near my own rig of potatoes should come, B y my shoul with my flail their bones I'll be thrashing, ev'ry yard from the Corough till I drive them home. �(4) T h e r e is Tullogh & Reaman, with O u r e y & Yeaman, when they hear of the news quite crazey will run ; T h e r e is Darby O'Cullen I'II wager a shilling, be will run quite mad about Mucky Felam his son. Pish, silence you blockhead no more of that language, but drink to us first boys and read what is there, D i d you hear any news about my cousin Donald, last Easter come a twelvemonth he listed in Kildare. A n d you know cousin Johnny he was a stout fellow, give him but a lump of shelaly in's hand, W i t h fifteen gallons of good whisky in's belly, de'il a fifty-five Spaniards before him could stand. So now for to bring my song to conclusion, let us drink a health to our officers all ; T o noble Col'nel Jennings, likewise Bland our Captain, and never forgetting the brave M r . Hall. L e t ' s be blythe and jolly, and drown melancholy, so merrily let us rejoice and sing; Come fill up your bowls all ye loyal souls, and drink a health to great George our King. So let them fight, rangle and riot, myself will be quiet, and I wish every man may get his own right, Success to old Ireland with long peace and plenty, with three meals a day and supper at night.

Soon after, however, he gain'd my consent, A n d with him on Sunday to chapel I went, But said 'twas my goodness more than his desert, N o t to thank him for nothing with all my heart. then, to be sure, h �6 T h e Parson c r y ' d , C h i l d , you must a f t e r me say, A n d then t a l k ' d of h o n o u r , and love, and obey B u t faith, when his Reverence came t o t h a t part, T h e r e I t h a n k ' d him for n o t h i n g with all my h e a r t .
