"NAPOLEONIC SCHOLARSHIP"

This journal is dedicated to bringing together important Napoleonic scholarship from around the world and making it available to scholars, history departments, and libraries worldwide.

Producing "the first" of anything is always exciting, and that has certainly been true with this first issue of Napoleonic Scholarship.

Thanks go to our scholars for their contributions and especially Don Howard for his invaluable advice and support. And most of all, many thanks go to Ben Weider for making this all possible. His personal and professional support have made the production of this journal a most pleasant experience.

Volume 1, Number 2

Welcome to the second edition of Napoleonic Scholarship. We are gratified by the overwhelmingly positive response to the first issue.

In this issue, we present papers from four continents and seven countries. To bring to western scholars material never before translated, especially from Russia and Eastern Europe, we offer work by two Russian scholars.
