Excerpt from Plan of the Battle of Sedan, Accompanied by a Short Memoir

The place and neighbourhood being declared in a state of siege, this was necessarily a task of some difficulty, not to say danger, from the liability of being mistaken as a spy both by Franc-tireurs and German patrols; the materials at hand were of the most limited nature, and in consequence the Plan is sadly wanting in detail.

Wishing to add to the interest of it, I have drawn up from the meagre details at command a précis of the battle, and of the engagements preceding it, besides generalizing on such subjects as affected it. I have endeavoured to make the memoir as brief as possible, and aiming at no literary merit, to limit it to what might interest the general public.
