OTES ON BOOKS:-'The Incendium Amoris of Richard There were present the Dukes of Wellington and Brunswick, the Prince of Orange, Lord Uxbridge, &c., &c. In the course of the evening a courier arrived with the intelligence that the French were advancing in force on the side of Charleroi and Namur, and the Duke, who read the despatch in the ballroom, immediately ordered the officers to repair to their quarters by daylight. A sad gloom overspread the entertainment, and a trying scene of leavetaking followed.

To use his own words in a note to the Duchess of Richmond, he was "successful tho' with inferior forces." The Duke of Brunswick, who was at the ball, was killed, having seven bullets in his body. Two others fell, about whom I was much interested: Lord Hay, a fine young officer, who had been here a great deal, shot through the heart (he was A.D.C. to General Maitland in the Guards), and Tom Brown, whose brother I knew at Christ Church, and of whom I had seen a great deal since I have been here, and liked exceedingly. He was a protégé of A. Cowper and a most amiable man. The Duke slept at Genappe that night, having driven back the enemy. The opinion here was that had he had more cannon up he would have done more with less loss, for our loss was very severe. The same evening the French made a night attack on the Prussians with a body of 10,000 cavalry, took them by surprise, and placed about 14,000 hors de combat, being dispersed all over the country. Blucher, who had all along sustained the left of the British, tho' he had not been engaged, sent in the morning (Saturday) to tell the Duke that he could not get his people together, and the latter deemed it expedient to retire, tho' right sorry to do so, for he had anticipated the giving Bonaparte a complete beating that day, so advantageously did every thing appear from the success of the day before. However, he retreated to a position about nine miles from this city. The French followed, but at a respectful distance. On Saturday morning the attention of the Bruxellois was taken up with the wounded, who arrived by hundreds. I never saw so dismal a sight.

For the last three years Mr. John Hautenville Cope has assisted Mr. Ditchfield in the editing, and the latter records how pleasant the association has been, and how considerably his labour has been lightened. The Library Journal: May. (New York, R. R. writes at THIS is a University number, and Mr. Hicks, who is the Law Librarian to Columbia University, on Library Problems resulting from Recent Developments in American Universities.' He points out some of the difficulties which confront the library as a result of its intimate connexion with the University. It cannot choose its own lines of development; lies not with the University Library, but with "the initiative the University as a whole, attempting to arrive certain ends, and using the library as one means towards their accomplishment." The change in the method of instruction from the use of few boo s to the use of many has caused a progressive demand for larger collections of boo' s, and there is the power of the printed page for which librarians a recognition of have always stood sponsor.' The case method has come into extensive use in law schools; it has also been adapted to the study of medicine, and a work entitled Case Teaching .in Medicine has been prepared by Dr. Richard C. Cabot of the Harvard Medical School. In other subjects, However, the case method has not yet resulted in the preparation of case books which might be substituted for references to the original sources. Of special interest is an account of the Widener Memorial Library, of which an illustration is given. The building is now nearly completed, and it is expected that by the end of the summer it will be in working order. A descriptive account of it is supplied by the Librarian, Mr. Lane. Mr. F. Weitenkampf writes on the Doucet Library at Paris, which contains 100,000 volumes on the history of art. THE July Fortnightly is a very readable number. Sir A. Quiller-Couch contributes the only article which is not concerned with war or problems arising from war. Charming, vivacious, and suggestive, his The Workmanship of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" misleads a little by its title, for it expounds not near so much the workmanship as the invention of the play. Dr. Brandes's Napoleon,' of which we are given a first instalment, is a penetrative essay in a more than commonly baffling field. Mr. W. F.

Gordon (since dead), who had been wounded, and was at the door when the Duke arrived, being the first to wish him joy. He told her they had had hard work, and appeared as cool as if nothing had happened. Lord G. Lennox came down here, and you may suppose with what interest we devoured all he had to say. The French fought with incredible fury, and the Duke considered the battle in suspense four times. Lord G. said lost, but I allow a little for the warm imagination of a young officer. A messenger, Col. Percy, goes to England to-day, but cannot take a list of the killed and wounded as it cannot yet be made out. Think how singularly fortunate the Duke himself was in escaping untouched. Col. Gordon had his thigh carried off by a cannon ball when standing close to him. Lord Uxbridge lost a leg, and Col. Canning, an A.D.C., was killed when near. Three others had their horses shot close by. The Prince of Orange has been wounded in the shoulder, but I believe not severely. Among the killed are Sir Thomas Picton, Cols. Wyndham, Howard, Mills, Dashwood, Delauncey, Majors Hodge, Griffith, Beane. Lord F. Somerset* has lost an arm. General Barnes severely wounded. The bells are ringing for joy, and the citizens shouting. What a contrast to six hours' plunder by the French which Nap had promised! Bulow with 38,000 Prussians are after him. I should like to see the field of battle, but know not whether to ask to go or not.f.... sun. The inhabitants were very kind, placing themselves about the Porte de Namur with wine, linen, &c., &c. When the hospitals were full they took them into their houses. On Sunday morning the Duke of Richmond, who, I must say, has been a little too confident, considering his large family, finding that Wellington was so near, and the rest of the English residents here gone or going, gave orders that we should be ready to start at a quarter of an hour's notice, and rode himself to the Duke of Wellington to ask his opinion. In consequence the carriages were packed, and horses quite ready to be put to. About two the cannonading began; you may conceive our situation. The engagement, by the issue of which we were to stand or fall, had commenced, and, tho' we have infinite confidence in Wellington and the British, yet the Prussians, Dutch, Belgians, &c., could not be so certainly depended upon, and human events are uncertain at best. On the other side there was Bonaparte with 120,000 of his best soldiers, those of Austerlitz, Jena, His greatest object in his desperate situation was to beat the British and to get possession of this country. If he received a check here he was sensible that it must end in his ruin. What efforts then would he not make to gain his point? All this was approaching to a decision within ten miles of us. The doubt and anxiety visible on every countenance as we walked upon the ramparts, listening to each coup de canons, was extreme; and at home the poor Duchess, harassed by the thought of the Duke being absent, of her ten children with her, and her three sons in the action, was a pitiable object. At 4 the Duke came home and reported that all looked favourable, but we must still be ready to start. About 7, just as we were sitting down to dinner, came a messenger to say that Wellington had gained his battle, and that the French were retiring. Wounded officers came in at intervals, but knowing nothing. About 10 arrived 8,000 prisoners, with two eagles and stands of colours, and soon afterwards a note from an A.D.C. of the Duke of Wellington to say that the victory had been complete. Here again I refer you to the despatches, wishing rather to give you such particulars as do not fall under the notice or within the limits of a despatch. The Duke got back to his quarters to dinner at 11, and after taking some rest rode into Brussels at 8 o'clock this morning with the remnants of the staff. The Duchess had gone up to his house to make inquiry about her nephew, Sir A. མ. [To his father.] Brussels, July 14th. .My last letter was written the morning after the battle, when I knew simply that it had been fought and that the victory had declared in favour of the Allies. A number of particulars have come in since, which may be interesting to you to hear, especially as you may depend upon their authenticity. Lord Fitzroy J. H. Somerset was the fifth son of the fifth Duke of Beaufort, and acted as A.D.C. and Military Secretary to the Duke of Wellington at Waterloo. Later, he was better known as FieldBritish Army in the Crimea, where he died on Marshal Lord Raglan, Commander-in-Chief of the 28 June, 1855. + Mr. Madan did visit the battle-field three or four days after the fight, though no description of it occurs in any letter of his that is still extant. However, on that occasion he picked up a plume of Prussian Hussar, and this is still in the possession feathers which once adorned the head-dress of a of the family. |
