The literature on Moreau is copious, the best book being C Jochmus, General Moreau--Abriss einer Geschichte seines Lebens und seiner Feldzuge (Berlin, 1814). A more ordinary work is A de Beauchamp, Vie politique, miliitaire, et privée du Général Moreau, translated by Philippart (London, 1814); and there is a curious tract on his death in Russian, translated into English under the title, Some Details Concerning General Moreau and his Last Moments, by Paul Svinin (London, 1814).
