With larger armies on foot than Napoleon ever commanded, with their line of battle stretching from ocean to ocean, across the whole breadth of the continent, they never, during four long years of alternate victories and defeats and both unprecedentedly bloody for a moment lost their equanimity, or appeared less calm, collected, tranquil, than in the ordinary times of peace.
