      "September the tenth, full well I ween

      In eighteen hundred and thirteen,

      The weather mild, the sky serene,

      Commanded by bold Perry,

      Our saucy fleet at anchor lay

      In safety, moor'd at Put-in Bay;

      'Twixt sunrise and the break of day,

      The British fleet

      We chanced to meet;

      Our admiral thought he would them greet

      With a welcome on Lake Erie."

      — Old Song

      LAWRENCE

      "Let shouts of victory for laurels won

      Give place to grief for Lawrence, Valor's son.

      The warrior who was e'er his country's pride

      Has for that country bravely, nobly died."

      — Lines published in June, 1813.

      THE WAR OF 1812

      By ALBERT BUSHNELL HART

      Professor of Government, Harvard University

      THE MENTOR · DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY

      MARCH 15, 1916

      Our defeat of Great Britain in the Revolutionary War was conclusive; though we in that case included France, without whose aid the patriots must have been defeated. It is not so easy to discover a fund of military glory in the War of 1812.

      That was a great war year. Within a few days of the declaration of war by the United States against Great Britain, Napoleon's Grand Army of over 400,000 men crossed the Niemen into Russia. Six months later 4,000 of that host recrossed, pursued by the Russians; and probably not more than 100,000 of the whole number ever saw their homes again. In 1813, while the Americans were fighting on the ocean and on Lake Erie, Napoleon was driven out of Germany. A few weeks before the Battle of Lundy's Lane, Napoleon was compelled to abdicate. Soon after the news of the Peace of Ghent with Great Britain was received in the United States, in 1815, Napoleon broke loose from Elba; and a few months later he was again a prisoner and sent to St. Helena.
