These are my notes on some important historical works. I have edited and where possible standardized spellings. The subject of the works has not and will not change but they are not word for for word identical with the originals. For instance in the case of General Mikhail_Dmitrievich Skobelev I adopted the more common use of Skobelev rather than Skoboloff. If this presents a problem then find another source. Barry O'Connell
