Book excerpt: Excerpt from Napoleon the First, an Intimate Biography Of books and memories about Napoleon there is no end, but there are comparatively few which give an unprejudiced picture of the man. For the most part no judgment has been passed upon him but that either of profound antipathy or of blind admiration. The books published about him during his life, and for many years after his death, have but little value. The idolatry and hatred which he inspired survived him too long to allow of an unbiased view. It has been his fate, in death, as in life, to stir the hearts of men to their depths. Now that one hundred years have elapsed since the "long-drawn agony" of Saint Helena we think that the time has come for a more impartial estimate. Facts are clearer, motives are better known, much new evidence is available. Let us then endeavor to depict Napoleon as he was, and "nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice."

Download or read book Napoleon the First written by August Fournier and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 870 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Napoleon the First: A Biography Before the appearance of the recent Lives of Napoleon by Professor Sloane and Mr. J. H. Rose, the work here presented in English was generally recognized by competent judges to be the best brief history of Napoleon that had been written. Whatever relative position would be accorded to it to-day, com pared with these biographies, it may be affirmed confidently and without invidiousness that its positive merits are to less great than formerly and that it has the relative advantage in this edition of being comprised in one volume and of being accompanied by a classified bibliography equally well adapted, within its limits, to serve as a guide to the student of Napo leonic history and as a manual for the librarian. Among the positive merits of Fournier's Napoleon I. Should be mentioned the thorough research upon which the narrative is based, the interesting, vivid, and at times dramatic style in which it is written, its broad historical spirit and impartiality of judgment, its excellent proportions, not allotting undue space to certain phases nor neglecting the civil side of Napoleon's career, and, finally, its lucid exposition of the general historical situation and of the various contending factors. These merits so strongly impressed me at the time of its original publication that I felt that a good translation would be a distinct and valuable addition to the large mass of N apo leonic literature already accessible to the English reader. Some years later I secured the author's sanction for such an under taking and entrusted the work of translation to my friend and former pupil Mr. F. H. Schwan of Cleveland. Mr. Schwan executed the task with scholarly fidelity. As I was not able. 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 910 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Napoleon the First, Vol. 1 There is, besides, in history itself a pacifying force, which shields the mind from the fanaticism of party spirit. If, on the one hand, it presents a spectacle of discouraging failures and endless contradictions, it shows us, on the other, that there is a constant tendency in civilization at once to recover and to raise its level. It shows us especially that we are the authors of our own destinies, and that a nation is always responsible for the creation of a yoke under which it has afterwards been obliged to bow. In spite of certain ap pearances wrongly understood, history is not a school of fatalism; it is one long pleading in favour of liberty.
