Life of Marlborough e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The busy have not time (and in this over-worked gene ration who is not busy?) for the perusal of voluminous works on one subject, the young are deterred by the bulk, and the less opulent classes by the cost, of such books. Yet the great facts in the lives of men like Wellington and Marlborough ought to be familiar to every English man. Ah earnest desire for peace does not always carry with it the attainment and security of that blessing. The continent of Europe is turned into a camp. The unsettled.
