The Memoirs of Napoleon, Volume 11, 1812 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the life and legacy of Napoleon Bonaparte.The commencement of 1811 was sufficiently favourable to the French arms in Spain, but towards the beginning of March the aspect of affairs changed. The Duke of Belluno, notwithstanding the valour of his troops, was unsuccessful at Chiclana; and from that day the French army could not make head against the combined forces of England and Portugal.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
