Rousset, Camille (Ed.). THE MEMOIRS OF MARSHAL MACDONALD, DUKE OF TARENTUM. London: Richard Bentley and Son, 1892. First Edition. 2 Volumes, large 8vo in 1/2 red morocco with gilt tooled fleur de lis and Napoleonic crests to the spines. "MacDonald had none of that military genius that distinguished Davout, Massena and Lannes, nor of that military science conspicuous in Marmont and St. Cyr, but nevertheless his campaign in Switzerland gives him a rank far superior to such mere generals of division as Oudinot and Dupont. This capacity for independent command made Napoleon, in spite of his defeats at the Trebia and the Battle of Katzbach, trust him with large commands till the end of his career. As a man, his character cannot be spoken of too highly; no stain of cruelty or faithlessness rests on him." (From 1911 Britannica.)
