Excerpt from Conscript of 1813 and Waterloo Alsace, and perhaps their descriptions Of the beauties of that really charming country are somewhat idealised. They lived in the days of rich living, when rich living could be Obtained. The voice of the teetotaler had not been heard in the land, neither had that of the apostles Of the simple life, if we except the sturdy Capuchin who wrought such havoc at the Inn of the Ham of Mainz. But that does not belong to this book. We take for our guide good old Father Goulden, who, looking through his big spectacles from his Shop window at Phalsbourg, relates the history of Europe as he saw and read it, in those stirring times when Wordsworth sang of the joy of being alive - and young. We who have lived a little longer have seen the fruits Of many of the seeds sown in those vivacious years. Some are good and some are evil, after the manner of all human and transitory actions. But Father Goulden, if rather too enthusiastic for the cause he had had at heart, was a just man, and admitted the faults Of his early idols. Joseph Bertha, the domesticated young man with a good heart and a bit Of a limp, tells us of the terrible campaign of 1813. In his mouth is placed the military part of the story, and in Father Goulden's the political. We rejoice over the sweet womanliness of the young man's wife, and smile at the vehemence of Aunt Grethel. She would worship Napoleon to-day, and, if it appeared to suit her peace of mind, she was equally ready to do homage to the Bourbons and to, attend the masses of expiation for Cadoudal and his colleagues. The plot is correct and well conceived. The military portion of the books is excellent if we take the point of view that the Observations are those of a young conscript, who hears more than he sees. The charm of the authors will never fade. Day by day we perceive the fact that their more serious books are by no means tales of adventure after the manner of Peter Simple, but a unique and truly French mixture of realism and thrifty love. Tolstoy could hardly do more to enhance the cause of peace than do the present works. They have been re garded as books for boys, but there is that in them which the serious student of history can ill afford to miss. The intense patriotism of the Alsatians is one of the outstanding features of modern European history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Conscript of 1813 and Waterloo (Classic Reprint), Excerpt from Conscript of 1813 and Waterloo The task of alloting to Mm. Erckmann-Chatrian their proper position in the literature of Europe is simplified by the fact that their more serious work (with which we are now concerned) is quite unique. They portray the position of the humbler classes in France towards the Napoleonic cult; they indicate in plain yet convincing language the inherent weakness of that cult after Napoleon began his wild career of attempted conquest for the sake of ´´glory´´; and they do not forget to show the follies of the Bourbons, which resulted in the French nation, despite its terrible losses between 1789 and 1814, welcoming back the great warrior from Elba. They also tell us with the convincing fervour of truth rather than the noise of the enthusiast, of the real causes of the Revolution, and those later causes which swept it away. Every student of history is more or less acquainted with the plain facts thus dealt with, but nobody else has related with such photographic exactitude the feelings, the flexibility, even the fickleness of the French people. Great deeds of high courage are not despised, but are taken rather as a matter of course. The horror of conscription is vividly shown, and so are the hardships of the soldier´s life. Historically, the account of Waterloo is not reliable. Patriotism has usurped the place of impersonal truth. But that is of no great importance, inasmuch as we do not read Erckmann-Chatrian for tactical exactitude, but rather to discover what was the mind of the people of France - that fascinating and volatile race, whose glories are to be found in peace as well as in war; a race which, when it fights, will fight with equal readiness among its own folk as it did in defence of invasion, or for those ´´rights of man´´ which were used by Napoleon to dazzle his Empire and to plunge it into dire disaster. Mm. Erckmann-Chatrian were both born in 1822, and of course their youthful minds were filled with the wonders of imagination following on the relation of deeds taken part in by nearly all the older men around them. M. Erckmann was a clever lawyer, and his collaborateur was at one time a glass worker and afterwards a schoolmaster.
