and has provided us with maps of the 1806 - 1807 Campaign in Eastern
Europe from the Russian perspective. These maps are beautiful, in color,
and have incredible detail! They were printed in 1847. Because they
are so detail, they vary in size from 150 kb to 500 kb.

In another major first for the Napoleon Series, I am very pleased to
announce our continuing of publishing long out-of-print books! This
time we will be making available to the public for the first time in
almost 200 years, a copy of "Almanach
Impérial 1810". This is another joint effort by Dominique
Contant and Tom Holmberg and the plan is to publish the Almanac in its
entirety! It is 900 pages long, so rather than wait until all 900 pages
have been transcribed and formated we have decided to place it on-line
in sections! In the Almanac you will find the names of the various cabinet
ministers of both France and other countries, information on the royal
famlies of Europe, ambassadors, cardinals, and a host of other hard
to find information. It is an incredible resource! Please note, that
because of the size of this document and the fact that the French is
fairly simple, we will not be translating it into English.
The first two installments are:
CALENDRIER (Calendar)
CHAPITRE Ier: Naissances

Once again we have another huge up-date, with 10 different contributors
from seven different countries!
One of the most contentious debates on the Series' Discussion Forum
was on the conduct of French Marshal Suchet in Eastern Spain. Did he
deserve his reputation of being a firm but just military leader in the
war against the Spanish or was his conduct as harsh as the other French
marshals in Spain? Three individuals (Dominique Contant, Robert Ouvrard,
and Jonathan Cooper) leaped to his defense and have provided many primary
source documents that show his repuation was well-earned.

The correspondence between Tallyrand and Fox is heating up and the
Emperor is not too happy! I am amazed that not only were these letters
received within a week of posting them, but the recipient also had enough
time to formulate a reply to them! Maybe the postal system was not as
bad as I thought it was! The next two letters from Eylau:

The Napoleon Series has a long tradition of publishing primary source
material. Greg Gorsuch recently acquired a volume of official correspondence
on the Eylau Campaign and has offered to let the Series republish it.
The book was printed in 1807 and it appears to be a compendium of correspondence
between the Napoleon and various countries, most notably Great Britain.
The correspondence is followed by Napoleon's bulletins. Our intention
is to provide both the original material in French and a translation
into English. This is the first installment of the book.

by Alexander Podmazo, who has given us permission to publish it in English

This update is probably one of the largest updates that we have ever
done in a 15 day period! Over 30 separate files -- all but two are from
primary source material! They are a great addition to the Series and
the community as a whole!
All of us have our own thoughts on Napoleon. Tom Holmberg has provided
us with a look on what one of Napoleon's contemporary's thought of him.
This is not an essay, but numerous quotes on a variety of topics as
they related to Napoleon! The author of the quotes was Thomas Jefferson,
the 3rd President of the United States. They provide some great insight
on how Napoleon was viewed by another head-of-state, who was often at
odds with him, but often aligned with him.

The year 2003 marks the eighth year that the Napoleon Series has been
on the internet. The past year was a milestone for the Series. We now
have over 5,000 items on the Series -- over 2,200 articles and almost
3,000 images of battlefields, monuments, uniforms, personalities, weapons,
and maps. We added almost 800 new items during 2002, many of them primary
source documents from French, Spanish, Russian, and Dutch archives.
Articles were published primarily in English, however we did publish
many in French and Spanish!
The Napoleon Series also held its annual Writing Contest. The results
of the Writing Contest will be announced on 15 March.
The Napoleon Series is truly a team effort. I first would like to thank
all of those who contributed articles and material to our twice monthly
update. These articles are the heart of the Series and are what make
it the great place that it is!
Many people supported the Series over the past year. The first thank-you
goes to the numerous people who donated items for our annual auction
and also shopped at it! Their support allows us to keep the Series going!
I would also like to thank George Nafziger and David Markham for providing
the great prizes for this past year's Writing Contest!
We are also sponsored by the International Napoleonic Society, Greenhill
Books, and the Nafziger Collection. Their unwavering support over years
has been instrumental to the continuing success of the Napoleon Series!
I would be amiss if I did not publicly thank all of the editors who
are actively involved in the day-to-day operations of the Series. In
no particular order, they are:
Tony Broughton, the Research Editor. He has always been there to
answer even the most obscure question! Few are aware, that many of
the images that we use to illustrate the articles come from his private
collection!
Tom Holmberg, the Reviews Editor. Every review published on the Series
is edited by Tom first! He is a font of knowledge on British laws
and treaties and has provided many statistics for the Statistical
Abstract.
David Markham, Editor and Liaison with the International Napoleonic
Society. David provides us with much valuable support and coordination
with our sponsor.
Howie Muir, Editor and Forum Moderator. Howie edits many of the papers
that are submitted and is the Forum Moderator -- a thankless job!
:-) His efforts as the moderator has helped give the Napoleon Series
Forum its reputation as the most scholarly and civil of all Forums
on the internet!
Alexander Mikaberidze, Assistant Editor. Alex is the newest member
of the team and has provided a Russian flavor! Along with his huge
"Russian Biographical Dictionary of the Napoleonic Wars"
(a great addition to the Series), he also provided primary source
material from the Russian military archives, and a guide to the French
Marshalate.
Once again we start the new year off with a wide variety of articles!
Tom Holmberg has undertaken a new project. He has compiled many of
Napoleon's speeches, proclamations, and addresses. They will be in chronological
order in can be seen at: Napoleon's
Addresses. The first two parts to the project are:
Napoleon's
Speeches: The Italian Campaign
Napoleon's
Speeches: The Egyptian Campaign
We continue to add to the Statistical Abstract.
