(Paris I873); Jean-Claude Beugnot, Memoires du comte Beugnot,
rng-r8rs, ed. R. Lacour-Gayet (Paris I959); Fran�ois Guizot, Memoires
pour servir a l'histoire de mon temps Vol 1. (Paris I858); Louis-Philippe
d'Orleans, Mon Journal, 2 vols (Paris I849); Cavalie Mercer, Journal of
the Waterloo Campaign, kept throughout the Campaign of I8I5, 2 vols
(I87o); Jules Michelet, Ma Jeunesse (Paris I884); Eugene d'Arnauld,
baron de Vitrolles, Memoires de Vitrolles, ed. P. Farel, 2 vols (Paris I95I);
but this by no means exhausts the huge memoir literature for I8I5.
As might be expected, there is a massive literature on Ligny, Qp.atre
Bras and Waterloo, beginning with Carl von Clausewitz, La Campagne de
r8rs (Paris I9oo); Antoine Jomini, Precis de Ia Campagne de r8rs (Paris
I939); Jean Charras, Histoire de Ia Campagne de r8rs (Paris I869) and
L.D. Pontecoulant, Napoleon a Waterloo (Paris I866). The classic study is
Henry Houssaye's r8rs: Waterloo (Paris I924). Thereafter, for each
French study one can cite a British one. So A. Brett-James, The Hundred
Days; Napoleon's Last Campaign fr om Eyewitness Accounts (I965); E.
Lenient, La Solution des Enigmes de Waterloo (I9I5); A.F. Becke,
Napoleon and Waterloo (I936); H. Lachouque, Le Secret de Waterloo
(Paris I952); J. Naylor, Waterloo (I96o); Jean Thiry, Waterloo (Paris
I943); J. Weller, Wellington at Waterloo (I967); Hector Couvreur, Le
Drame beige de Waterloo (Brussels I959); A. Chalfont, ed. Waterloo: Battle
of the Three Armies (I 979 ); C. Piollet, La Verite sur le mot de Cambronne
(Paris I92I); Christopher Hibbert, Waterloo: Napoleon's Last Campaign
(I967); Henry Houssaye, La Garde meurt et ne se rend pas (Paris I907);
David Howarth, A Near-Run Thing; the Day of Waterloo (I968). Three
useful articles are J. Holland Rose, 'Wellington dans Ia campagne de
Waterloo', Revue des Etudes napoleoniennes, I9I5 pp.44-55; E. Kraehe,
'Wellington and the Reconstruction of the Allied Armies during the
Hundred Days', International History Review II (I989) pp.84-97; C.
Grouard, 'Les derniers historiens de I8I5', Revue des Etudes napoleoni
ennes I9I7 pp.I63-98.
On the gloomy sequel to Waterloo and the Emperor's eventual
surrender: Henry Houssaye, I8I5: La Seconde Abdication, Ia Terreur
Blanche (Paris I9I8); Jean Thiry, La Seconde Abdication (Paris I945); J.
Duhamel, Les Cinquante }ours de Waterloo a Plymouth (Paris I963); G. de
Bertier de Sauvigny, La Restauration (Paris I955); G. Martineau,
Napoleon Surrenders (I97I). Two good articles are J. Gallaher, 'Marshal
Davout and the Second Bourbon Restoration', French Historical Studies 6
(I970) pp.35o-64 and G. Lewis, 'The White Terror of I8I5 in the
Department of the Gard: counter-revolution, continuity and the individ
ual', Past and Present 58 pp.108-35.
