Dorman, Marcus R. P. History of the British empire in the 19th century, v. 2. The campaigns of Wellington and the policy of Castlereagh (1806-1825). [*]$4. Lippincott.
“A consecutive account of British foreign and domestic policy.... Mr. Dorman pays little attention to affairs in France and central Europe. His point of view is always British and his desire is to elucidate the part played by British statesmen and soldiers in continental affairs.... He introduces a considerable body of new information drawn from the correspondence of British representatives in other countries. He throws light on the Welcheren expedition, on the part played by General Chitroff in betraying information to the British government, on the negotiations between Alexander and Napoleon in 1811, and on the position of Prussia in February, 1812.... The second portion of the history, dealing with the period from 1815 to 1825, is chiefly concerned with the policy of Castlereagh.”—Am. Hist. R.
“The attitude assumed throughout is that of a fair-minded and impartial narrator.” Charles M. Andrews.
