[Gutenberg 19562] • Napoleon and the Queen of Prussia

Excerpt from The Works of Louise Muhlbach: Napoleon and the Queen of Prussia

A panic had seized the whole army. All presence of mind and sense of honor seemed to be lost. Every one thought only of saving his life, and of escaping from the con ner ing arms of the invincible French. Here and there, it is true, officers succeeded by supplications and remonstrances in stopping the fugitives, and in forming them into small detachments, with which the commanders attempted to join the defeated and retreating main force.
