inciples of the art of war, printed by itself at Glogau in Silesia. The fall of Napoleon, by giving up many studious officers to the leisures of peace, became the signal for the apparition of a host of military writings of all kinds. General Rogniat gave matter for controversy in wishing to bring back the system of the legions, or of the divisions of the republic, and in attacking the somewhat adventurous system of Napoleon. Germany was especially fertile in dogmatic works; Xilander in Bavaria, Theobald and Muller of Wurtemberg, Wagner, Decker, Hoyer and Valintini in Prussia, published different books, which presented substantially but the repetition of the maxims of the Arch Duke Charles and mine, with other developments of application. Although several of these authors have combatted my chapter on central lines of operations with more subtlety than real success, and others have been, at times, too precise in their calculations, we could not refuse to their writings the testi

engages in them, but if they arise from imperious and inevitable circumstances, they must at least be remedied, by seeking to oppose means or alliances capable of establishing a certain ponderation of the respective forces. The great coalition against Louis XIV, caused, as we have said, by his projects upon Spain, took, nevertheless, its origin in the preceding aggressions which had alarmed all his neighbors. He could oppose to leagued Europe only the faithful alliance of the Elector of Bavaria, and the more equivocal one of the Duke of Savoy, who himself was not slow to increase the number of the coalitionists. Frederick sustained war against the three most powerful monarchies on the continent, with the support alone of subsidies from England, and of fifty thousand auxiliaries from six different small States; but the division and feebleness of his adversaries were his best allies. Those two wars, like that sustained by the Emperor Alexander in 1812, were almost impossible to

But I spoke thus, regarding Bavaria only as an isolated échiquier, which it mighttaly was the zone of operations of the right; Bavaria was that of the army of the centre (Rhine and allied armies were to invade Saxony, another Bavaria, and another Italy; thus Saxony, or more prop alternately played this part in Tyrol and in Bavaria, as well as Mortier and Marmont around Vienna example, is that of the Inn, which separated Bavaria from Austria; flanked on the south by the Tyrg its bridge whilst Moreau was returning from Bavaria, could have had important results if it had nntry. If sixty thousand French advanced into Bavaria, having in presence an Austrian army equal inusof advanced upon the Inn to the confines of Bavaria, with thirty thousand Russians; the army of Maration of Maurice of Saxony, in 1551, and of Bavaria in 1813, sufficiently proves that it is impor

e enemy from overwhelming them separately. If Jourdan and Moreau had followed this maxim, and had united at Donanwert instead of moving exteriorly — far from being thrown back upon the Bhine, they would probably have obtained great successes in Bavaria. As for the rest, this enters into double lines of operations, upon which we are not to return. Artticle XXXVIII. retreats and pursuits. Of all the operations of war, retreats are incontestably the most difficult. It is so true thand 1809, but as the lateral defense has not been precisely well attempted there, the question is still susceptible of controversy. All depends in my opinion upon respective situations and antecedents; if a French army coming from the Rhine by Bavaria, found the Allies upon the Lech and the Iser and should be in force, it would be very delicate to throw all the Austrian army into the Tyrol or into Bohemia, with the idea of arresting thus its direct march, for it would be necessary always to l

It was thus that Ney, coming from the borders of Lake Constance, Lannes from Upper Suabia, Soult and Davoust from Bavaria and the Palatinate, Bernadotte and Augereau from Franconia, and the imperial guard arriving from Paris, were found in lied from Spain in 1809, by the preparations of Austria, and certain of having war with that power, despatched Berthier to Bavaria with the delicate mission of assembling the army, all dispersed from Strasburg to Erfurt. Davoust returned from this est suited Napoleon to adopt, was it not easy to conclude that the weight of the French army, being already assembled in Bavaria, it was necessary to throw it upon the left of the Prussians by Gera and Hoff, for whatever hypotheses they should adoptg success at Ratisbon in 1809.
