This book was released on 2016-06-28 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Napoleon Bonaparte, Vol. 1 of 4 The dilapidated villa in Corsica, where Napoleon passed his infantile years, still exists, and the thoughtful tourist loses himself in pensive reverie as he wanders over the lawn where those children have played - as he passes through the vegetable garden in the rear of the house, which enticed them to toil with their tiny hoes and spades, and as he struggles through the Wil derness of shrubbery, now running to wild waste, in the midst of which once could have been heard the merry shouts of these infantile kings and queens. Their voices are now hushed in death. But the records of earth can not show a more eventful drama than that enacted by these young Bonapartes between the cradle and the grave. There is, in a sequestered and romantic spot upon the ground, an isolated granite rock, of wild and rugged form, in the fissures of which there is some thing resembling a cave, which still retains the name of Napoleon's Grotto. This solitary rock was the favorite resort of the pensive and meditative child, even in his earliest years. When his brothers and sisters were in most happy companionship in the garden or on the lawn, and the air resounded with their mirthful voices, Napoleon would steal away alone to his 'loved retreat. There, in the long and sunny afternoons, with a book in his hand, he would repose, in a recumbent posture, for hours, gazing. Upon the broad expanse of the Mediterranean spread out before him, and upon the blue sky, which overarched his head. Who can imagine the visions which in those hours arose before the expanding energies of that wonderful mind?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Napoleon Bonaparte The Publishers believe that in adding the Life of Napo 'eon Bonaparte to their biographical series, they are supplying a want that has long been felt by the public. Although several works have issued from the English press, in which the extraordinary career of Napoleon has been treated at great length, and although many disputed passages in his history have received the most minute and searching investigation, the Publishers are not acquainted with any volume which within a moderate compass and at a small price contains the essence of the researches of late years, and gives a fair and complete account of the life of the French soldier and statesman. The present work is intended to supply the deficiency. The re-establishment of the Napoleon dynasty in France served to increase the interest in the life and fortunes of the founder of this wonderful family. In these pages, it is hoped that a fitting memorial will be found of that hero who was once the terror of the nations, and whose deeds have since attracted the attention of the woild.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte An historian will one day arise, who will do justice to his 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.

Download or read book History of Napoleon Vol 1 of 2 Classic Reprint written by George Moir Bussey and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Napoleon, Vol. 1 of 2 In compiling a new History of Napoleon, it has been the object of the Author to relate, as clearly, concisely, and impartially as possible, the great events which his work necessarily embraces. The previous Biographers of the French Emperor have, for the most part, been men who were themselves partisans or actors in the long struggle produced by the French Revolution, and therefore, though perhaps unconsciously, biassed by feelings excited by passing occurrences. Hence the character of Napoleon has been exalted or depreciated, and his actions magnified or disparaged, according to the political or personal views of the writers who have recorded his achievements. The principal aim of the writer of the present work has been to review the Life of Napoleon as a whole; not only in its chivalric details, but as to its influence upon the state and prospects of Europe, and the progress of civilization throughout the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte, Vol. 1 of 4 The peculiar advantages of position, in regard to his present subject, so long enjoyed by M. de Bourrienne, from his official situation, his literary accomplishments and moral qualifications, have already obtained for these Memoirs the first rank of authenticity in contemporary history. In France, where they had for years been expected with anxiety, and where, since the Revolution, no work, connected with that period, or its consequent events, has created so great a sensation, the volumes of Bourrienne have, from the first, been accepted as the only trustworthy exhibition of the private life and political principles of Napoleon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Napoleon I Placed in 177 7 at the military school of Brienne, Where he had Pichegru for a tutor and Bourrienne for a comrade, he applied him self assiduously to the study of history, geography, and mathematics. He was totally absorbed in the latter science and his taste for politics was even then very remarkable. De Bourrienne has furnished a lively account of his school days. He describes him as having a remarkably dark Italian complexion, quick, penetrating eyes, and a head dispro portioned to his diminutive body. He was also distinguished by his Corsican dialect, which was a source of ridicule to his companions. He soon, however, mastered the French language; but in classical and elegant literature he never acquired great proficiency. Plutarch, Tacitus, Polybius, and Arrian were his favourite authors. He was as fond of seclusion at Brienne as he had been in Corsica, and seldom associated with his fellow-students in their hours of recreation. But although he had few friends, he does not appear to have had any enemies in the school. His chief amusements consisted in the culti vation of a small plot of ground, of which one was assigned to each pupil, and in reading historical works.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The French Revolution and Napoleon NO historian believes that history repeats itself. Yet, between different ages there are frequently striking analogies and resemblances. It is prob lems that repeat themselves, not the conditions which determine their solution. One of these problems, recurrent in European annals, is that of the maintenance of a certain balance of power among the various nations as essential to their freedom, the maintenance of a situation to which they are accustomed and which-they have found tolerable, a change in which would be prejudicial or dangerous to their peace and safety. Several times in modern history this balance has been threatened and Europe has purchased immunity from servitude by freely giving its life blood that life might remain and might be worth living.
