Was foisted on France by Foreign Bowers as absurd, if you like, to see in Louis Philippe the elected sovereign of the people as to refuse that title to Napoleon III. Such assertions are like a daub that hides the work of some fine old master; our first care should be to remove it that we may see the under lying truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Invasion of France, 1814, Vol. 1 It is surely a most curious coincidence that the centenary of the overthrow of Napoleons aggressive system of military despotism by the Allies should coincide with the outbreak of the most gigantic struggle in which Europe has ever been involved. Then, as now, the immediate cause of the war was the attempt by one nation to dominate the neighbouring states by force of arms, regardless of justice or of treaty obligations. At the beginning of the nineteenth century Napoleon aimed at the complete subjugation of Europe and, thanks to his unrivalled genius and the fact that through force of circumstances France had become a nation in arms in the modem sense of the words, he achieved a temporary though most phenomenal success. At first he was opposed by the comparatively small standing armies of the neighbouring states, the bulk of whose inhabitants took little interest and practically no part in the operations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from France Since 1814 Foreign opinions of France at the present day naturally vary according to the more or less conspicuous benevolence which inspires them. At the same time it has struck me that, taking them all round, they really do not rest upon any solid basis of appreciation, and I believe that this may be attributed to the fact that hardly any one has taken the trouble to look to the details of our contemporary history for the origin of those political or social phenomena which he professes to analyse. Our history, especially since the death of Napoleon I., appears at first sight to be split into periods perfectly distinct from each other; historians have yielded to the irresistible temptation of studying them apart, and thus the underlying metaphysical thread which unites them has become less and less visible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Napoleon and the Campaign of 1814 The campaign of 1814 in France, in which the courage of Napoleon's soldiers rivalled the genius of their leader, was divided into three distinct phases. The first phase lasted from January 25 to February 8, and was marked by the threaten ing advance of the allies. In vain had Napoleon conquered at Brienne, in vain had he held his own at La Rothiere against three times his own numbers. His armies were in retreat, the situa tion appeared desperate, and the end Of the war loomed near and inevitable. Napoleon felt him self powerless to stay the advance of the armies of Bohemia and Silesia, which had effected a junction with each other: he could no longer rely on his troops and could scarcely rely on himself. His one and only hope was that the enemy might commit a blunder. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-11-20 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the War in the Peninsula and in the South of France, Vol. 1: From the Year 1807 to the Year 1814 For six years the Peninsula was devastated by the war of independence. The blood of France, Germany, England, Portugal, and Spain was shed in the contest, and in each of those countries, authors, desirous of recording the sufferings or celebrating the valour of their countrymen, have written largely touching that fierce struggle. It may therefore be demanded, why thrice-told tale should be renewed? I answer, that two men observing the same object will describe it diversely, according to the point of view from which either beholds it in the eyes of one it shall be a fair prospect, to the other a barren waste, and neither may see aright! Wherefore, truth being the legitimate object of history, it is better that she should be sought for by many than by few, lost for want of seekers, amongst the mists of prejudice and the false lights of interest, she be lost altogether.
