Thanks for the link. I had often heard of the importance of the battle of Marathon, but couldn't remember its provenance.
Here's an interesting excerpt from the Siege of Orleans though:
the struggle by which the unconscious heroine of France, in the beginning of the fifteenth century, rescued her country from becoming a second Ireland under the yoke of the triumphant English.
That's quite a statement from a 19thC English man.
