A text for the history of Franco-German relations during the revolutionary period. A product of recollection, and historical hindsight, it offers a document of the military catastrophe exposing the decline of Prussian power since the death of Frederick II, which eventually culminated in Napoleon's devastating 1806 victory at Jena and Auerstedt.
