Extrait: ...Cività-Castellana, Monterosi, Otricoli, Rieti, Cività-del-Trono, Cantalupo, Storta, se retiraient en désordre vers le royaume de Naples. Dix-sept jours de campagne avaient vu paraître et fuir plus de soixante mille hommes; douze mille prisonniers, quatre-vingtdix-neuf pièces de canon, les bagages et les armes des vaincus étaient tombés entre les mains des Français, Vingt-un étendards et drapeaux ennemis, arrachés dans les combats, attestaient ces brillants triomphes; ils étaient le présage de succès plus grands encore. Championnet, résolu d'en profiter, allait livrer une bataille générale à l'armée napolitaine; mais la retraite précipitée du roi de Naples, celle du capitaine général Mack, ne lui permirent pas d'atteindre l'exécution de ce hardi dessein. La fuite des Napolitains fut même si prompte que leur général oublia de donner l'ordre de se retirer à un corps de quatre mille hommes posté aux environs de Cività-Vecchia. Ce corps s'étant présenté pour passer le Tibre à Rome, fut attaqué par les troupes françaises, qui lui prirent tous ses canons, lui firent mille huit cents prisonniers, tuèrent ou dispersèrent tout le reste. Depuis cet instant la marche de l'armée française ne fut plus arrêtée. Macdonald et Rey furent en douze jours sous les murs de Capoue: le premier, après avoir conduit son artillerie dans des défilés presque impraticables par la dégradation absolue des routes et les pluies continuelles; le second, après s'être emparé d'un grand...

Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored." Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books. There are now 65,000 titles available (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon. Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.

Alexandre de Saint-Albin Rousselin
Edit ProfileEducation
He was educated at the College d'Harcourt.
Career
He embraced the ideas of the French Revolution with enthusiasm, sympathised with the Jacobin Club, and later edited the journal Feuille du salut public. As civil commissioner in Troyes, he was accused of by some of enforcing the Reign of Terror, and by the Revolutionary Tribunal of being a moderate, and he was imprisoned for a short time in 1794.
On his release from the Citoyen during the Thermidorian Reaction, Rousselin held offices in the Ministry of the Interior, and under the Directory he became secretary-general, and then civil commissioner of the Seine département. Attached to the party of Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte, he was looked on with suspicion by the police of the First French Empire, and during the later years of the Empire spent his time in retirement at Provence. During the Hundred Days, however, he served under Lazare Carnot at the Ministry of the Interior.
Under the Bourbon Restoration he defended Liberal principles in the Constitutionnel, of which he was the founder. Although Louis Philippe had been his friend since the days of 1789, he accepted no office from the July Monarchy. He retired from the Constitutionnel in 1838, and died on nine years later.
Achievements
-
His chief literary works deal with the soldiers of the French Revolutionary Wars: Vie de Lazare Hoche, général des armées de la République française (2 vols. , 1798); Notice historique sur le général Marbot (1800); M. de Championnel (1860); Notices of others were posthumously published by his son, Hortensius de Saint Albin, as Documents relatifs à la Revolution Française (1873).
