This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Louis Napoleon and the Genesis of the Second Empire The hundred years that now separate us from the birth of Napoleon III, and the thirty-five years which have intervened since his death, ought to make it possible to arrive at something like an impartial and fair estimate of that remarkable man's personality and character. The fierce light that beats upon a throne has perhaps never beaten so fiercely as it did on that of the last sovereign who ruled over France. Compared with it, the gentle beam that fell on the throne shared by him to whom the words were addressed by the late Laureate was but a feeble and kindly ray. But long before the throne was reached Louis Napoleon had courted the strong light of publicity, and in its glare all his many faults and failings were relentlessly and conspicuously revealed. Such a light is hardly calculated to throw into relief those balancing good qualities which are perhaps the real basis of most men's characters, and in the case of Louis Napoleon many of his public acts before his advent to power were scarcely of a kind to win him the admiration or confidence of a public who knew him only by what may be termed his appearances on the stage. No public man, perhaps, has been the object of so much calumny and misrepresentation, and few public men have met calumny with so much dignity. The campaign of abuse directed upon him during the days of the Presidency was more than surpassed when the Empire collapsed at Sedan.

This book was released on 2017-12-23 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Napoleon and the Marshals of the Empire, Vol. 1 The view which a commercial and industrial age takes of war is, perhaps, as far removed from perma nent truth, as that which a military society entertains respecting trade and mechanics. To one who gets beyond the feelings and theories of a particular age and country, and looks upon the history of the world, from an abstract and positive point of view, war must present itself as one of the great and regular agents of providential operation, and one of the established and permanent conditions of human society. Upon this subject, we must keep the distinction which the Author of all truth has taught us to make, between the qualities of his conduct, by whom events come, and the character of those events, as appointed and indis pensable parts of God's benignant providence to men. The same act may be a crime in him who does it, and a blessing to all who partake of it: the same occur rence may be a millstone upon the conscience of its author, and a life-giving source of goodness, and strength, and happiness, to all who come within its influences. The wickedness of him by whom war comes, is no stain upon the glory of the war when it has come, nor upon the virtues of those who are com.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queen Hortense: A Life Picture of the Napoleonic Era Yet, despite all these sorrows and discouragements, Hortensia had the mental strength not to hate her fellow beings, but, on the contrary, to teach her children to love them and do good to them. The heart of the dethroned queen bled from a thousand wounds, but she did not allow these wounds to stiffen into callousness, nor her heart to harden under the broad scars of sorrow that had ceased to bleed. She cherished her bereavements and her wounds, and kept them open with her tears; but, even while she suffered measureless woes, it solaced her heart to relieve the woes and dry the tears of others. Thus was her life a constant charity; and when she died she could, like the Empress Josephine, say of herself, I have wept much, but never have I made others weep.

This book was released on 2017-07-15 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Consulate and the Empire of France Under Napoleon, Vol. 4 On pronouncing these words, Napoleon as sumed the most threatening air, and a new war was evinced in his gestures, his accent, and his look. He resumed and said, This war against England is long and painful, I well know. But what would you have me do? What method should I adopt? Apparently, since you complain so much of the sea being closed, you demand that it should be open, that a single power should not rule them at the ex pense of all others, nor take possession of the colonies of all other nations, nor arrogate to itself despotic power over every flag. For my part, I am irrevocably fixed in this matter: I will never abandon the rights of neutrals; I will never allow the principle to prevail that the lag does not protect merchandise; that the neutral is obliged to repair to England and there to pay tribute. If I had the baseness to mintain such theories you would shortly be unable to leave Bouen or Havre without a pass port from the English. My decrees of Berlin and Milan shall be the laws of the Empire until England shall have renounced her foolish pre tmsions. The Americans ask leave to reappear in our ports, to bring you cotton and to take your silk, which would afford you great relief.
