[Footnote 97:  Bailleu, pp. 540-552.  See too Fournier’s “Napoleon,” vol. ii., p. 106.]

[Footnote 98:  Bailleu, pp. 556-557.  So too Napoleon’s letter of September 5th to Berthier is the first hint of his thought of a Continental war.]

[Footnote 99:  Queen Louisa said to Gentz (October 9th) that war had been decided on, not owing to selfish calculations, but the sentiment of honour (Garden, “Traites,” vol. x., p. 133).]

[Footnote 100:  A memorial was handed in to him on September 2nd.  It was signed by the King’s brothers, Henry and William, also by the leader of the warlike party, Prince Louis Ferdinand, by Generals Ruechel and Phull, and by the future dictator, Stein.  The King rebuked all of them.  See Pertz, “Stein,” vol. i., p. 347.]

[Footnote 104:  See Prince Hohenlohe’s “Letters on Strategy” (p. 62, Eng. ed.) for the effect of this rapid marching; Foucart’s “Campagne de Prusse,” vol. i., pp. 323-343; also Lord Fitzmaurice’s “Duke of Brunswick.”]

[Footnote 107:  Marbot says Ruechel was killed:  but he recovered from his wound, and did good service the next spring.

Vernet’s picture of Napoleon inspecting his Guards at Jena before their charge seems to represent the well-known incident of a soldier calling out “en avant”; whereupon Napoleon sharply turned and bade the man wait till he had commanded in twenty battles before he gave him advice.]

[Footnote 108:  Foucart, p. 671.]

[Footnote 109:  Lang thus describes four French Marshals whom he saw at Ansbach:  “Bernadotte, a very tall dark man, with fiery eyes under thick brows; Mortier, still taller, with a stupid sentinel look; Lefebvre, an old Alsatian camp-boy, with his wife, former washerwoman to the regiment; and Davoust, a little smooth-pated, unpretending man, who was never tired of waltzing.”]

[Footnote 110:  Davoust, “Operations du 3’me Corps,” pp. 31-32.  French writers reduce their force to 24,000, and raise Brunswick’s total to 60,000.  Lehmann’s “Scharnhorst,” vol. i., p. 433, gives the details.]

[Footnote 111:  Foucart, pp. 604-606, 670, and 694-697, who only blames him for slowness.  But he set out from Naumburg before dawn, and, though delayed by difficult tracks, was near Apolda at 4 p.m., and took 1,000 prisoners.]

[Footnote 112:  For this service, as for his exploits at Austerlitz, Napoleon gave few words of praise.  Lannes’ remonstrance is printed by General Thoumas, “Le Marechal Lannes,” p. 169.  The Emperor secretly disliked Lannes for his very independent bearing.]
