  • The Dawn of the XIXth Century in England: A Social Sketch of the Times

    by John Ashton ...
    Fair as this looks to the eye, British statesmen could not even then, in those early days, implicitly trust Napoleon, without some material guarantee. True, all was not couleur de rose with the French army and navy. The battle of the Nile, and Acre, still were in sore remembrance.

    by John Ashton ...
    “Travellers see strange things,” more especially when their writing about, or delineation of, them is not put under the microscope of modern scientific examination.

Although I treat of a period but sixty years since, it is a time of which ... Read more
