CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
There is a wealth of primary sources for the campaign of 1814, not least
Napoleon's own letters to Marie-Louise. A.J.F. Fain's Le Manuscrit de
1814 is as important as the corresponding document for 1813, Caulain
court's previously cited memoirs come back into centre stage. Madame de
Marigny's Journal ( 1907) gives many details unavailable elsewhere. Other
fundamental sources include Volume 2 of Prefect of Police Pasquier's
Memoires (Paris 1893), Augustin Belliard, Memoires (Paris 1842); A.G.P.
Barante, Memoires (Paris 1901). Also to be classed as primary sources are
Clausewitz's La Campagne de 1814 (Paris 1900), Georges Bertin, La
Campagne de France d'apres les temoins oculaires (Paris 1897) and Baron
Vincent's Le Pays Lorrain (Paris 1929). How reliable Chateaubriand is as
an observer of this period is disputed. See Beau de Lomenie, La Carriere
politique de Chateaubriand de I8I 4 a I8JO (Paris 1929) and H. Guillemin,
L 'Homme des Memoires d'outre-tombe (Paris 1964).
The military campaign of 1814 has been exhaustively studied - some
would say written into the ground. The classic account is Henry
Houssaye's 1814 (Paris 1888) but there are other good monographs: A.
Chuquet, L 'Annee 1814 (Paris 1914 ), Jean Thiry, La Campagne de France
(Paris 1938); F. Ponteuil, La Chute de Napoleon I (Paris 1943); F.L.
Petre, Napoleon at Bay 1814 (1914); Marcel Dupont, Napoleon et Ia
Trahison des Marechaux (Paris 1970); F.D. Scott, Bernadotte and the Fall
of Napoleon (Cambridge, Mass. 1935). Modern perspectives, including
