Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Napoleon Bonaparte, Vol. 1 In the closing years of the eighteenth century European society began its effort to get rid of benevolent despotism, so called, and to secure its liberties under forms of constitutional government. The struggle began in France, and spread over the more important lands of continental Europe; its influence was strongly felt in England, and even in the United States. Passing through the phases of constitutional reform, of anarchy, and of military despotism, the movement seemed for a time to have failed, and to outward appearances absolutism was stronger after Waterloo than it had been half a century earlier. But the force of the revolution was only checked, not spent; and to the awakening of general intelligence, the strengthening of national feeling, and the upbuilding of a sense of common brotherhood among men, produced by the revolutionary struggles of this epoch, Europe owes whatever liberty and free government its peoples now enjoy. At the close of this period national power was no longer in the hands of the aristocracy, nor in those of kings; it had passed into the third social stratum, variously designated as the middle class, the burghers or bourgeoisie, and the third estate, a body of men as little willing to share it with the masses as the kings had been. Nevertheless, the transition once begun could not be stopped, and the advance of manhood suffrage has ever since been proportionate to the capacity of the laboring classes to receive and use it, until now at last, whatever may be the nominal form of government in any civilized land, its stability depends entirely upon the support of the people as a whole. That which is the basis of all government-the power of the purse - has passed into their hands. This momentous change was of course a turbulent one-the most turbulent in the history of civilization, as it has proved to be the most comprehensive.

This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte, Vol. 1 of 4 In what we have done ourselves, we have been guided by a Spirit of impartiality. In common with Bourrienne, we have in many instances ventured to differ from the ex-parte statements of Savary (the notorious Duke of Rovigo), the Count Las Cases, and some others of Napoleon's adherents; but, we trust, that we have never been led away by prejudice, and in no single instance have stated controverted facts except on the highest authorities. Englishmen as we are, we are quite ready to allow that during the prosecution of the last tremendous war, all the fault did not rest with Bonaparte. Carlo Botta, the great historian of modern Italy, justly ohserves, that republicans and royalists, emperors, kings, the p0pe, the ministers in the different cabinets of Europe, and the different generals in the field, all erred, and were often not merely politically and strategetically, but morally wrong.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Napoleon I, Vol. 1: Including New Materials From the British Official Records N apology seems to be called for from anyone who 1 gives to the world a new Life of Napoleon I. My excuse must be that for many years I have sought to revise the traditional story of his career in the light of facts gleaned from the British Archives and of the many valuable materials that have recently been pub lished by continental historians. To explain my manner of dealing with these sources would require an elaborate critical Introduction; but, as the limits of my space absolutely preclude any such attempt, I can only briefly refer to the most important topics.
