Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Napoleon King of Elba The sovereignty of the Island of Elba was granted to the ex-Emperor of the French in Article III. of the Treaty signed at Paris, April 11, 1814, by the plenipotentiaries of the Allied Powers, and by Coulaincourt and Ney for Napoleon - who ratified it at Fontainebleau. "It is chosen by him as his residence, and will form a separate principality, which he will possess as sovereign and proprietor for the remainder of his life." He was entitled, moreover, to an "annual revenue of two millions of francs reserved from domains and rent charges in the great book of France." The King of Elba would hold the rank, title, and dignity of a crowned sovereign, but he must become a stranger to France. If the members of his suite did not return to their country within the period of three years, they would lose their qualification as French citizens (Article XVIII. of the Treaty). On April 20, after hastily putting his affairs in order, and embracing General Petit in the Cour du Cheval Blanc, Napoleon left Fontainebleau, between 11 and 12 in the morning, in a large travelling carriage, and set out for the Mediterranean coast.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Napoleon at Fontainebleau and Elba: Being a Journal of Occurrences in 1814-1815; With Notes of Conversations Some friends to whom it was then shown, agreed in thinking that, over and above the value of every fragment bearing upon Napoleon's history, the Diary of Sir Neil Campbell contained much information not hitherto disclosed, touching the conduct of Napoleon during his residence at Elba, the preparations for his escape, and his consummate skill both in veiling and executing the manoeuvres which led to the crowning event of his career. It was therefore decided that the Journal should no longer remain in its manuscript form, but be laid before the general reader. In the next place it seemed necessary to prefix a brief Memoir of the Author, in order to Show (how ever imperfectly) what manner of man he was. But here many difficulties arose from the scarcity of materials. There were few of Sir Neil Campbell's letters or papers at hand, by help of which to trace out the story of his life from year to year.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Napoleon in Exile: Elba From the Entry of the Allies Into Paris on the 31st March 1814 to the Return of Napoleon From Elba and His Landing at Golfe Jouan on the 1st March 1815 THE Elban episode in Napoleon's career has not received the attention it deserves. It reveals to us the man unencumbered by the weight of the Empire, and not yet given up to the pose for posterity; and it helps us to understand the course of events at St. Helena. Elba explains St. Helena. For that reason the two subjects are included in one work, under the title of " Napoleon in Exile." The first volume, dealing with Elba, is published on the 31st March, 1914, exactly one hundred years after the entry of the Allies into Paris. Two volumes dealing with St. Helena it is hoped to publish on the 1st March, 1915, the centenary of the landing of Napoleon on the coast of France on his return from Elba. It has been my privilege to be given free use of the unpublished Elba material, including a large number of letters signed or initialed by Napoleon, collected by the late Earl of Crawford. I have also to thank Professor Vigo, Curator of the archives of the city of Leghorn, Mr. Montgomery Carmichael, British Consul at Leghorn, Mr. J. C. Airey, British Vice-Consul at Portoferraio, and Signor Piladc del Buono, formerly proprietor of the San Martino estate, for valuable assistance given me in various ways during my visits to Leghorn and Elba.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Downfall of Napoleon: His Escape From Elba, the Battle of Waterloo, Captivity in St. Helena, and Death; From Sir Walter Scott's Life of Napoleon Buonaparte From Sir Walter Scott's Life of Napoleon we have extracted, with some slight curtailment, the episode of those famous Hundred Days in which the Emperor made his final struggle for power. The Battle of Water loo, which forms the main incident, has been the theme of much paper warfare. Our great story-teller was sure to make the most of the patriotic and picturesque 'features; he had the advantage of visiting the field, and of conversing with officers engaged in the battle; and his spirited narrative may be accepted as essentially accurate. The main story is here introduced by the chapter dealing with Napoleon's life on Elba, and concludes with the account of his last days on St. Helena - the whole completing one of the most romantic and resounding episodes in modern history; which is here prefaced by a brief summary of the previous events in the life of this extraordinary man.

But kings and people both feared me; they were wrong, and may pay dearly for it. I returned a new man; they could not believe it; they could not imagine that a man might have sufficient strength of mind to alter his character, or to bend to the power of circumstances. I had, however, given proofs of this, and some pledges to the same effect. Who is ignorant that I am not a man for half measures? I should have been as sincerely the monarch of the constitution and of peace, as I had been of abso lute sway and great enterprises.
