While reflecting on the failure of Napoleon in his attempt to boycott Great Britain's trade with Europe, we must not forget that much of the trade and commerce of Great Britain was derived from France as far back as the massacre of St. Bartholomew. The operatives, mostly Huguenots, who were driven from their homes and country, found a place in Britain; and when Napoleon attempted to boycott British commerce from Europe, and even blotted Great Britain from the ma[) of Europe, declaring British p...roperty lawful prize, the British Islands to be held in a state of blockade, the con- tinent of Europe to hold no correspondence with nor to transact any business i1 with Great Britain : when British manufactures and produce were declared contraband ; when letters to and from the shores of Great Britain were to be kept and opened at the post offices, the traditions of France, if not the tradi- tions of human nature, asserted themselves; and notwithstanding these decrees, White, in his history of France, says : " Artillery, horse, and infantry were always defeated when opposed to Napoleon's battalions, but printed ginghams were irresistible, 'iliere were conspiracies beyond the reach of his spies, in every parlour, where the daughters were dressed in coloured muslins ; and cloths, cutlery, and earthenware were smusfffled wherever a British vessel could float".
