Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Napoleon An historian will one day arise who will do justice to Bonaparte's merit: as for myself, I do not even pretend to aspire to the honour of being his biographer. I am only about to relate all that I know of this extraordinary man, and which I believe I know - well that which I have seen and heard, and of which I have preserved numerous notes. With confidence I call him an extraordinary man, who, owing everything to himself, acquired the most absolute sway over a great and enlightened nation, obtained so many victories, subdued so many states, distributed crowns to his family, made and unmade kings, and who became nearly the most ancient sovereign in Europe, and who was, without doubt, the most distinguished of his age; such an individual cannot be called an ordinary man. Napoleon Bonaparte was born at Ajaccio, in Corsica, on the 15th of August, 1769. The name was originally written Buonaparte; but during the first campaign in Italy he dropped the u, merely to render the spelling conformable with the pronunciation, and to abridge his signature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte, Vol. 3 of 4 The tribune Ouree had the honour of first propo sing otficially the conversion of the Consular Repub lic into an Empire, and the elevation of Bonaparte to the title of Emperor, with hereditary right. Curée developed his proposition in the meeting of the 30th April, at whio I was resent. He commenced, by exposing the miseries w ioh had overwhelmed France, from the Constitutional Assembly, down to the 18th Brumaire a revolution which bej ustly characterized as a deliverance. He then assed in review the brilliant career of the present ead of the Republic; enumerated his claims to the gratitude of France; shewed that her flourishing condition depended on him Let us haste, then, to demand the hereditary transmission of the supreme magistracy; for, in voting for an hereditary chief, as Pliny said to Trajan, we bar the return of a master. But, at the same time, let us give a great name to a great power; let us choose a title which, while it carries the idea of the highest civil functions, may recall glorious remem brances, and breathe no taint upon the sovereignty of the people. I can see, for the guardian of a national ppwer, none more befitting than the title of Emperor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 912 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte, Vol. 1 What M. De Las Casas states Napoleon to have said in May, 1816, on the manner of writing his history, corroborates the opi nion I have expressed. It proves that all the facts and observa tions he communicated or dictated were meant to serve as mate rials. We learn from the Memorial, that M. De Las Casas wrote daily, and that the manuscript was read over by Napoleon, who Often made corrections with his own hand. The idea. Of a journal pleased him greatly. He fancied it would be a work of which the world could afford no other example. But there are passages in which the order of events is deranged; in others, facts are misrepresented, and erroneous assertions are made, I apprehend, not altogether involuntarily.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte, Vol. 4 of 4 Even now I am filled with astonishment, when I think Of the council that was held at the Tuileries on the 13th Of March. The ignorance of the members of that council respecting our situation, and their confidence in the useless measures they had adopted against Napoleon, exceed all conception. Will it be believed, that those great statesmen, who had the control Of the telegraph, the post-office, the police and its agents, money, in short, every thing which constitutes power, asked me to give them information respecting the advance of Bonaparte? What could I say to them? I could only repeat the reports which were circulated on the Exchange, and those which I had collected here and there, during the last twenty - four hours. I did not conceal that the danger was imminent, and that all their precau tions would be Of no avail. The question'then arose as to what course should be adopted by the king. It was impossible that the monarch could remain in the capital, and yet, where was he to go? One proposed that he should go to Bordeaux; another to La Vendee; and a third to Normandy; and a fourth member of the council was Of opinion that the king should be conducted' to Melun. I conceived that if a battle should take place any where, it would probably be in the neighbourhood Of that town; but the counsellor who madethis last suggestion, assured us that the presence Of the king, in an open carriage and eight horses.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Memoirs, of Napoleon, 1815, Vol. 9 The Translator thinks, that the work cannot fail to satisfy the curiosity of the nation. Besides furnishing ample details of the operations which occurred in the Campaign of 1815, it is enriched with military criticisms of the first order. It is napoleon himself who Speaks. He criticises the conduct of the Generals who were Opposed to him, while he hears ample testimony to the undaunted gallantry of the British troops; and he supports his arguments by reasonings and by proofs. It is unnecessary to praise such a work: It unmasks some reputations, but it declares the truth. It will furnish to history inap preciable materials, and to military men interesting lessons.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Favourite of Napoleon: Memoirs of Mademoiselle George It is always tiresome to speak about oneself. I am, however, obliged to do so at the beginning of this preface. Some people will doubtless be astonished to see the memoirs of an actress published through the care of a man who for many years has been invested with grave duties - solicitor to the Civil Courts of the Seine, and even in 1893 president of the Society of Solicitors. Two words of explanation are necessary to dissipate this surprise, and palliate the seeming contradiction. From my childhood I was received by Alexandre Dumas, whose son became much later one of my most intimate friends. Through the author of Monte Crista I was enabled to either listen to or know the greatest actors and actresses of that age: Frederick Lemaitre, Rachel, Geoffroy, Melingue, Laferriere, Rouviere, Augustine and Madeline Brohan, and many others besides. My taste for the theatre took date from that moment. A little later a love of painting was awakened within me. I had a friend, a young painter, a pupil of Henri Lehmann. We used to pass all the days of my leave together at the Louvre. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
