Napoleon’s Atlantic: The Impact of Napoleonic Empire in the Atlantic World

Some one hundred years ago, the British Napoleonic specialist John Holland Rose opined that, insofar as the period 1799 – 1815 was concerned, the history of Napoleon was the history of the world. As the current reviewer has observed elsewhere, this remark was utter nonsense: Napoleon and his wars were a European phenomenon that only impinged tangentially, if at all, upon many contemporary developments in the wider world. That said, given that several of the powers engaged in the revolutionary and Napoleonic wars were major colonial powers, confrontation in Europe was mirrored not only in traditional areas of contention such as the Antilles and India but also in new theaters of war in Africa and even Southeast Asia. Meanwhile, in certain areas of the European colonial empires, there was also a strong political echo, whether it was in Haiti, or the Spanish and Portuguese territories that laid claim to almost the whole of central and southern America, not to mention US states such as California, Nevada, Arizona, California, and Texas. We might assume, then, that over the years a whole series of historians would have addressed this worldwide dimension, but in reality very few works can be found that pay it more than lip service. Therefore the publication of this most interesting collection is to be welcomed, though it covers only the Atlantic world.For reasons of space, this review will confine itself to the book’s coverage of what must be regarded as the central contribution of the Napoleonic age to Atlantic history, namely the Latin American revolutions. Here the specialist will find a number of useful essays. Dominique Goncalves looks at the attitude of the Cuban plantocracy to the Spanish struggle against Napoleon; Timothy Hawkins at the response of the colonial authorities in Guatemala to the danger of French subversion; Matt D. Childs at a little-known outburst of anti-French rioting that gripped Havana in March 1809; Victor Peralta Ruiz at the travails of two senior Spanish josefinos with long experience of America; Felipe Angulo Jaramillo at the manner in which the French press reported the Latin American revolutions; and, finally, Roderick Barman, John Savage, and Monica Ricketts look separately at ways in which the Napoleonic model shaped the new republics.This is a somewhat eclectic collection, but two important themes emerge. First, despite the fact that from the very beginning of his intervention in the Iberian Peninsula Napoleon offered the American colonies favorable treatment in his new order, his blandishments awoke scarcely any response among their inhabitants. Collaboration in Buenos Aires, Caracas, Montevideo, and other cities was all but nonexistent, while in Spain only a handful of criollos went over to Joseph Bonaparte, it being apparent that the few that did so were men who were for one reason or another estranged from their parent societies. (An important subtext here is the utter inability of Napoleon, at least as emperor, to project his power beyond the shores of Europe.) All this, however, is known well enough. Much more interesting is the second pattern that can be discerned: as was the case with their counterparts in Spain, the colonial elites offered the war effort against France a strictly limited commitment. While they were ostensibly prepared to give it a strong measure of support, they were not prepared to do anything that might inconvenience them personally or risk their social and economic privilege. In Spain this attitude provoked serious social disorder throughout the patriot zone; the period from 1808 to 1810, in particular, was marked by an endless series of riots, uprisings, and other disturbances. Childs’s splendid essay on the Cuban riots of 1809 therefore shines forth on account of its very strong comparative dimension, however unconscious of this the author evidently was. We need much more of this; indeed, it is this reviewer’s very strong hope that Childs or some other equally well-qualified scholar will produce the monograph that we so sorely need on South America’s war against Napoleon.To conclude, this is an excellent book. It is not without its gaps — it is a shame, for example, that there was no contribution from Matthew Brown, the author of the excellent Adventuring through Spanish Colonies: Simón Bolívar, Foreign Mercenaries and the Birth of New Nations (2006) — but it is an important contribution to the literature.

Catholic Emancipation and the Resignation of William Pitt in 1801

The resignation of William Pitt in 1801 remains one of the most controversial developments in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century British parliamentary politics. At the time few believed that Pitt's dispute with George III over the issue of removing the political disabilities imposed on Roman Catholics in Ireland—also known as Catholic emancipation—was the real reason behind his decision, and many alternative explanations arose within parliamentary circles. Nevertheless, Pitt's closest adherents insisted that the Catholic question was solely responsible for the resignation, and this debate has been carried on by historians, with John Holland Rose and Richard Willis leading the side supporting Pitt's claim and David Barnes and Piers Mackesy the more sceptical side. Such a debate that has raged back and forth for almost two centuries might seem pedantic, but it deserves another look because historians should provide an accurate representation of events and the debate has overlooked some important aspects of the question. Moreover, the whole episode is relevant to the larger issue of the power relationship between the king and his ministers. Therefore, this article addresses four points: the degree of Pitt's commitment to Catholic emancipation; whether the resignation was constitutionally necessary; other factors that were involved in his decision to resign such as his physical and mental health and the serious divisions in the Cabinet over the war and how to handle the grain crisis; and the implications of the resignation for the relationship between the king and the executive.

Napoleon's Journey to Elba in 1814<subtitle>Part I. By Land</subtitle>

T HE events that led to Napoleon's abdication have been described by a succession of historians in great detail; and several writers (notably Paul Gruyer, in his Napole'on roi de l'ile Elba [Paris, I906], and Norwood Young in his Napoleon in Exile: Elba [London, I9I4]) have made the most of what information exists as to his residence in Elba. But the intervening episode of the ex-emperor's journey by land from Fontainebleau to Frejus, and by sea from Frejus to Porto Ferrajo, has been passed over with too little attention. One need only look at the histories most read today. The page that Holland Rose allows it is full of mistakes, and marred by theatricalities. Kircheisen's two pages are more detailed, but still far from complete or correct. Tarle and Lefebvre ignore the episode altogether. Yet there are enough good authorities to make it possible to piece the story together; and it is not insignificant, either for the biography of Napoleon or for the history of contemporary opinion about him.1

IX. THE HISTORY OF EMPIRE

O F the seven volumes of the Cambridge History of the British Empire which have now appeared, this one represents perhaps the most considerable achievement. As with previous volumes of the History the editors have had to contend with the problem that some of their subject-matter has either been left untouched by research workers or been dealt with only by writers whose premisses seem of dubious validity and whose preoccupations are of diminishing interest. Consequently, the chapters vary greatly in quality. Some are by scholars whose more extended work in the same or closely related fields still carries unchallenged authority. Such are the chapters by Sir Reginald Coupland ('The Abolition .of the Slave Trade'), Sir John Clapham ('The Industrial Revolution and the Colonies,' I783-i822'), and Mr C. R. Fay ('The Movement towards Free Trade, i820-53'). The two chapters by the late Professor Holland Rose ('The Conflict with Revolutionary France, I793-i802' and 'The Struggle with Napoleon, i803-I5') retain a similar stamp of authority where they are concerned with diplomatic or military matters, though they are not always so satisfactory in regard to colonial policy or to conditions in the colonies. Other chapters deal with topics which are not new but upon which the writers had not previously specialized. Some of these are likely to remain useful for a long time-especially, perhaps, chapters by Professor J. L. Morison ('Emigration and Land Policy, I8I5-73'), Professor E. A. Walker ('The Routes to the East, i8I5-70') and Professor A. P. Newton ('British Enterprise in Tropical Africa, I783-i870'). But perhaps the two most notable contributions to scholarship are those of Professor V. T. Harlow ('The New Imperial System, I783-i8I5') and Mr H. J. Habakkuk ('Free Trade and Commercial Expansion, i853-70'). Both break new ground, reveal a greater concern with social structure than generally emerges in other parts of the volume, and make a number of stimulating suggestions which deserve working out in greater detail. Some of the other chapters are less satisfactory, as is inevitable in a volume of this size and variety. Thus, several contributors are too much concerned with events in Europe and do not intimately relate their material to the theme of imperial development. One may, for example, contrast the discussion by Mr W. F. Reddaway of Anglo-French rivalry with that by Professor Walker of 'The Routes to the East'. Professor Walker touches continually upon European diplomatic relations but never loses the main thread of his argument. Again, the chapters dealing with colonies where the population is mainly non-European, sometimes fail to take account of the peculiarities of the social structure. And the statement in the Preface that the compiler of the Bibliography has 'supplemented the material submitted by some of our contributors' is too evidently true. Work published in America has been largely neglected 'by several contributors. The result is particularly regrettable in regard to the history of the

Man's Conquest of the Sea

IN the story of the world there have been numerous points or episodes which very aptly have been called ‘seamarks’ of history. In this book the author's aim has been to bring many of the more notable of those seamarks out of the obscurity which all too long has enveloped them. There is much justification for a statement in the preface that fame and riches have been for military heroes who, in general, effected little more than temporary shufflings of boundaries; while the great sea explorers, many of whom revealed new lands—even new continents—destined to be the homes of millions, received but paltry reward, remained unrecognised and unrequited, or even met with completely unknown ends.

The volume (VI) of the Cambridge Modern History which professes to cover the eighteenth century has no chapter on the subject and only the most scanty and perfunctory references to it. This is a serious omission. The best account of Anglo-Dutch relations during the first half of the century is in Dr. P. Geyl's Willem IV en Engeland tot 1748, but this is written in Dutch and should be translated. An important volume on the early history of the Barrier, containing two excellent theses, by the late Roderick Geikie and by Mrs. Montgomery, is shortly to be issued by the Cambridge University Press. Illuminating references to our relations with the Republic may be found in Chesterfield's Letters (edited by J. Bradshaw), and in the Correspondence of Robert Trevor (Hist. MSS. Commission, Fourteenth Report, App. ix, Buckinghamshire Papers). A new edition of Chesterfield's letters, which will be much fuller on the diplomatic side, is understood to be in preparation. Valuable side-lights are thrown by the Mémoires of the Marquis d'Argenson. There is also a good deal of information in my Studies in Eighteenth-Century Diplomacy. The story of the rupture between England and Holland in 1780 is told briefly but clearly in vol. x. of the Political History of England (by W. Hunt). The most vivid account of the internal struggle in Holland which led up to the Triple Alliance of 1788 is in the Diaries and Correspondence of the First Lord Malmesbury, vol. II, but there is a good narrative in J. Holland Rose, William Pitt and National Revival, and a shorter one in my volume on Great Britain and Prussia in the Eighteenth Century. A statement of the claims of neutral states in time of war and of English motives for rejecting them may be found in any manual of International Law, and in Mahan's Sea Power in History.
