After the peace he accompanied the Emperor to Russia, and was promoted to the rank of general-in-chief — a rank next to that of marshal, which no one can hold who has not gained a battle.

not a Frenchman he had no love of country to restrain him. During the campaign of 1813, Jomini rendered valuable services to the Allies, and when their armies reached the Rhine, advised against the invasion of France. When the Allied Powers entered France, Jomini, on his urgent solicitations, was permitted to return to Switzerland, and, through the influence of Russia, aided in saving it from the intended conquest and subjugation by Austria. When the Allies again entered Paris, in 1815 Jomini accompanied the Emperor Alexander, and so warmly — though ineffectually — opposed the execution of Marshal Ney that it was proposed to strike his name from the list of Russian generals. After the peace he accompanied the Emperor to Russia, and was promoted to the rank of general-in-chief — a rank next to that of marshal, which no one can hold who has not gained a battle.

He afterwards went to Paris, where he was for a time engaged in commercial pursuits, still devoted to military pursuits, at one time on the staff of Kellen, and afterwards in the office of the Secretary of War. In 1805 he received an appointment on the staff of Marshal Ney, with whom he passed through the campaigns of Cim, Jena, Eylau, and Spain, and was promoted to the rank of chief of staff for services in the field.

Jomini and his career. Major-General Halleck has recently published the first English translation of General Jomini's Life of Napoleon, the most thoroughly military record of the career of the Emperor ever written. General Anthony Henry Jomini was born in the small village of Pavano, Switzerland, on the 6th of March, 1779, and died during the last year at the advanced age of eighty-four years. His family was of Italian origin, but had for several centuries resided in the Canton of Vand. He received such an education as the schools of Switzerland could afford, and, having an ambition for a military career, he entered at an early age the school of the Prince of Wertemburg at Montheliard. He afterwards went to Paris, where he was for a time engaged in commercial pursuits, still devoted to military pursuits, at one time on the staff of Kellen, and afterwards in the office of the Secretary of War.

In these campaigns he acquired a brilliant reputation as a staff officer and a strategist, but his success made him enemies, among whom was Berthier, the major-general and chief of staff of the Immoral army. After the capitulation of Dupont Baylen, in 1808, Napoleon determined to direct person the military operations in Spain, and Jomin was assigned to duty on the staff of Berthier; but rather than serve under one who had always been his enemy, be tendered his resignation, intending then to enter the service of the Emperor of Russia. But Napoleon refused to allow him to leave the service, and placed him on special duty in Paris, to enable him to write the history of the campaigns in Italy.
