TEACHING HISTORY
Sir-If Mr. Walsh’s letter in your issue of 12/2/43 means anything, it indicates that in his view Britons should be ashamed of themselves, for winning, or claiming as victories, the battles of Trafalgar and Waterloo, having taken a mean advantage of their poorly prepared opponents, and that our Universities have badly failed in not having sufficiently emphasised such national. wrong-doings. Each to his taste,'of course, but I had thought that at least some teachers had done their best to do so, and belittle their own nation’s great achievements.

{R. White (late 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards), writes to say that having read Maxwell’s Histery, he ‘has failed to find therein that Russia and Austria were England's allies, or that they were advancing with all speed to the assistanee of the English at Waterloo.’’ He also encloses Maxwell’s account of the Battle of Waterloo, which we have not the space to reprint.-Ed.] ,
