Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fall of Napoleon Duced so far as they are necessary for clearness. A vast amount of Napoleonic literature has been published during the last ten or fifteen years, and with the greater part of that literature the present writer claims to be acquainted. The result of this has been not only to bring to light many facts which were previously unknown, but to modify in many respects the judgments passed upon N apoleon's actions by competent historians. For instance, no action of Napoleon has been more universally con demmed than his refusal to accept terms of peace during the armistice of 1813, but the analysis of the policy of Metternich made by M. Albert Sorel in his last published volume has shown that it would have been impossible for Napoleon to have acted otherwise. It is believed that the result of these researches now finds place for the first time in an English book, and the View of Napoleon's character and conduct, which is rather indicated in these pages than positively stated, is different to that generally held by English historians. For reasons which have been thought sufficient, the pages of this book have not been burdened. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book A Dictionary of Napoleon and His Times Classic Reprint written by Hubert N. B. Richardson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of Napoleon and His Times The collection in dictionary form of the material, historical and personal, relating to the most significant and arresting figure of the modern world will certainly appear to those best qualified to judge to be a task of hopeless magnitude and complexity; and, indeed, the difficulties in the way of the perfect accomplishment of such a collection are almost insurmountable in view of the unexampled mass of literature, good, bad, and indifferent, which has grown up around the figure of Napoleon Bonaparte. Any attempt which aimed at complete inclusion of all the circumstances connected with that most marvellous life would be a failure unless it assumed the proportions of an encyclopaedia of very large size. No such claim is advanced on behalf of this work, the object of which is to present in popular yet exact form for ready reference a general survey of the Napoleonic period, both as regards its central luminary and the numerous satellites, scarcely less brilliant, who circled round him. Particulars of the personality of Napoleon and all that recent research has discovered with reference to the more obscure episodes in his career have been carefully examined and collated; the campaigns necessitated by his policy; the commercial, political, and artistic developments of his reign; biographical matter relating to his family from the earliest recorded member thereof down to its latest scions; the political circumstances of the various countries with which he had warlike or pacific relations; his habits and idiosyncrasies; the great leaders who served or failed him; his more private life; his relations with his secretaries and valets; the women he loved; and the contemporaries, laudatory, veracious, or scurrilous, who set down their reminiscences of him-all arc included in this work, which, if not encyclopaedic, may at least claim to be comprehensive. Many of the biographies are of considerable length, but the plan throughout has been to give extended treatment only to matters of interest and value, and severely to condense anything which does not approximate to that standard. The work has been written in a spirit which the author believes he is justified in claiming is absolutely without bias of any sort: but that is not to say that it is non-controversial. A work of reference should not lend itself too much to argument; but level acquiescence in the views advanced and in the deductions drawn by standard authorities where these do not square with personal conviction is characteristic of the compiler who attempts nothing further than the mere mechanical collection of materials upon which, as is too often the case, his disabilities prevent any direct comment or illustration.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Napoleon I, Vol. 1: Including New Materials From the British Official Records An apology seems to be called for from anyone who 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 published 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. To deal with the published sources first, I would name as of chief importance the works of MM. Aulard, Chuquet, Houssaye, Sorel, and Vandal in France; of Herren Beer, Delbruck, Fournier, Lehmann, Oncken, and Wertheimer in Germany and Austria; and of Baron Lumbroso in Italy. I have also profited largely by the scholarly monographs or collections of documents due to the labours of the "Societe d'Histoire Contemporaine," the General Staff of the French Army, of MM. Bouvier, Caudrillier, Capitaine "J. G." Levy, Madelin, Sagnac, Sciout, Zivy, and others in France; and of Herren Bailleu, Demelitsch, Hansing, Klinkowstrom, Luckwaldt, Ulmann, and others in Germany. Some of the recently published French Memoirs dealing with those times are not devoid of value, though this class of literature is to be used with caution.

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.
