The Journal of an Army Surgeon during the Peninsular War
A rarity amongst Peninsular accounts, are those that come from the medical services of the British army, Boutflower’s journal was printed sixty years after his death but remains even now fresh and interesting. His duty was to patch, tend and mend the fighting men of the 40th Regiment of Foot, during the fierce fighting against the French. His journal principally focuses on the campaigns under the Duke of Wellington that stretched from 1809 to 1814, although his service had drawn him to South America and the West Indies beforehand.

The Prophecies of Daniel 2
Although Daniel 2:45 states that the great statue composed of four metals and with feet of clay reveals the future, relatively few biblical scholars have understood it as an amazingly accurate timeline that does exactly that. Liberals have been unwilling to consider that the statue's fourth kingdom is Rome. Most conservatives have recognized that it is Rome, but they have gone astray by seeking a nonexistent link between that ancient empire and the modern world.

Journal of an Army Surgeon in the Peninsular War
A surgeons view of the war in Iberia Charles Boutflower was the son of a Yorkshire vicar born in 1782. He studied surgery at the University of Edinburgh and joined the 40th Regiment of Foot-then a Somerset regiment-in 1801 as an assistant surgeon. He served with that regiment in the West Indies, South America and thereafter during the Peninsular War against Napoleon's invading French armies. It is from his time in Spain that his Journal is particularly drawn. Although Boutflower was a medical man his writings are well rounded and comprehensive giving the reader much insight into the campaigns he experienced, scenes of the battlefield and his own perspective on the course of the war in general. Boutflower was promoted to surgeon in 1812 and took his place on Sir Rowland Hill's staff. This is a valuable contribution the our understanding of the war Wellington's Army fought and will be much appreciated by students and casual readers alike.
