This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.

Excerpt from Grant and His Campaigns: A Military Biography
I have said thus much by way of self-vindication, should any reader - especially some gallant soldier - fail to find as many battle pictures, and as much of the movements of the lesser organizations, as he had expected. I could not neglect the philosophy of Grant's history, and there was not space for both.

Henry Coppee was an American soldier, educator, and author. He served as a president of the Lehigh University from 1866 to 1875 and from 1893 to 1895.
Background
Henry Coppee was born on October 13, 1821 in Savannah, Georgia, United States to a family of French extraction that had formerly settled in Haiti. He was the son of Edward and Carolina Eugenia Raingeard DeLavillate Coppee, who fled from Santo Domingo during the great slave insurrection. His father, a physician, took up the practise of medicine in Georgia, was one of the founders of the First Presbyterian Church in Savannah in 1827, and was a charter member of the Georgia Historical Society in 1839.
Education
Henry entered Yale University in 1839. After two years, however, he ceased to attend college. He was employed in the construction of the Central of Georgia Railroad, from Savannah to Macon, and in the study of engineering until the age of nineteen, when he entered West Point, from which institution he graduated in 1845, eleventh in his class.
Career
Coppee was employed in the construction of the Central of Georgia Railroad, from Savannah to Macon. As brevet second lieutenant of artillery he was assigned to garrison duty at Fort Columbus, New York, until the outbreak of the war with Mexico, when he was transferred to the Ist Artillery which was with Scott. In the progress of the campaign he was promoted to the rank of first lieutenant and after the storming of Chapultepec was brevetted captain "for gallant and meritorious conduct" in the battles of Contreras and Churubusco.
In 1848 he returned to West Point as assistant professor of French. After a year he was transferred again to garrison duty, this time at Fort McHenry, but the year following saw his return to the military academy as assistant professor of geography, history, and ethics. Here he taught and also had charge of the library until his resignation from the army in 1855 and his acceptance of the chair of English literature and history at the University of Pennsylvania. For eleven years he held this post with distinction.
He published a number of text-books and collections of literature, among them: Elements of Logic (1857); Elements of Rhetoric (1858), which ran through eleven editions; Gallery of Famous English and American Poets (1859); and Gallery of Distinguished English and American Female Poets (1860).
When the secession crisis preceding the Civil War made the question of loyalty an imperative one, Coppée made his choice for the Union rather than for his native state. Although he did not reenter the army, he threw himself with great zeal into the cause for the Union and through various writings on military science he sought to contribute to the efficiency of the Northern armies, publishing in 1862 his Manual of Battalion Drill and a translation of Marmont's Esprit des Institutions Militaires and in 1863 his Manual of Evolutions of the Line and Manual of Courts-Martial.
In 1864 he became the editor of a new publication, The United States Service Magazine, a military periodical conceived along broad and scholarly lines, which, however, went out of existence two years later when Coppée was led to relinquish the editorship as well as his chair at the University of Pennsylvania to accept the presidency of the newly founded Lehigh University.
From 1866 to 1875 Coppée acted not only as the first president of Lehigh but also as professor of history and literature. His chief interests, however, were in teaching and writing, and he therefore resigned the presidency in 1874, continuing in office another year until a successor could be found, and then taking the title of professor of English literature and international and constitutional law.
Upon the death of President Lamberton in September 1893, Coppée became acting president and continued to serve until the time of his death. During his connection with Lehigh University he published Grant and his Campaigns. A Military Biography (1866); Lectures in English Literature (1872); English Literature Considered as an Interpreter of English History (1873), which ran into nine editions; an American edition of La Guerre Civile en Amérique by the Comte de Paris, in four volumes (1875 - 78); and General Thomas (1893), in the Great Commander series.
He was a contributor to the North American Review, the Princeton Review and the Church Quarterly. These various literary efforts bespeak the breadth of Coppée's knowledge and the wideness of his intellectual interest.
His History of the Conquest of Spain shows his strength and weakness as a writer and scholar. It is delightfully written and a really valuable contribution, but it will hardly take rank with the very best contributions to historical literature both because new sources have been made available since he wrote and because he was occasionally inclined to come warmly to the defense of the traditional rather than submit it to the cold test of supportable evidence.
For many years before his death he served as the warden of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. At the time of his death he was a regent of the Smithsonian Institution.
Coppee was a man of simple faith and a devout churchman as is attested by his Songs of Praise in the Christian Centuries (1866); for many years before his death he served as the warden of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.
Membership
He was identified with the American Philosophical Society, of which he was an honored member.
Personality
His manner of writing was easy and flowing, if sometimes a little over-ornate; his mentality was distinctly Gallic in its enthusiasm, its imagination, its logical trends.
As a young man Coppée was strikingly handsome and during his latter years he made a most impressive and venerable appearance with his white hair and flowing beard. By all testimony he possessed an unusual charm of presence.
