The reason ties in the form uf strategy which made your ci il w al so long and enabled Napoleon to keep his back to the wall so limn when he bad a coalition of Kuropo against him. Leo and Napoleon worked on inner lines from ' ecatral position, and they had the genius to make the host possible ice of the groat advan tage thus given them.
