Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Napoleon Bonaparte Napoleon, when about ten years of age, was sent to the military school of Brienne, his parents having destined him for the profession of arms - a profession at that time, in conse quence of a prejudice still too prevalent, viewed as peculiarly the pursuit of a noble and gene rous mind. Forty years afterwards he spoke of his parting from his mother, upon the occasion referred to, ' as having been particularly bitter and painful to his feelings. Brienne school, although of a military character, was somewhat inconsistently placed under the superintend ence of a few monks, and regulated, in many respects, upon monastic principles. Each pupil was locked up at night in a solitary cell, the whole furniture of which consisted of a bed, an iron water-pitcher, and a basin. Napoleon became much attached to this school. I was happy at Brienne, was an expression which frequently dropped from his lips, when seated on the throne of empire.

Forty years ago she was the most popular writer of historical stories and sketches, especially designed for the boys and girls of France. Her tone is pure, her morals are high, her teachings are direct and effec tive. She has, besides, historical accuracy and dramatic action; and her twenty books for children have found welcome and entrance into the most exclusive of French homes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Napoleon Bonaparte But the present was bad enough, and momentarily grew worse. The road was lined with charred ruins and devastated fields, and the waysides were dotted with groups of listless, desperate soldiers who fell out and sank on the ground as the straggling ranks of their comrades tramped on. Skirting the battle-field of Borodino, the marching battal ions looked askance on the ghastly heaps of unburied corpses; but the wounded survivors were dragged from field hospitals and other cav ernous Shelters to be carried onward with the departing army. They were a sight which in some cases turned melancholy into madness. In order to transport them the wagons were lightened by throwing the spoils Of Moscow into the pond at Semlino. On the thirtieth despatches of grave import reached the Emperor, informing him that Schwarzen berg had retreated behind the Bug, leaving an Open road from Brest for Tchitchagofi's veterans to attack the right flank of the columns flying from Moscow. Victor, learning Of Napoleon's straits, had left fifteen thousand men in Smolensk, and was advancing to join saint-cyr on the. Dwina in order to assure the safety of the main army from that Side. To him came the dismal news that Wittgenstein had resumed the offensive against saint-cyr, and that the line Of attack on the French left was as open from the north as was that on the other side from the south. Davout's rear-guard was steadily disintegrating under hardships and before the harassing attacks of the Russian riders under Platofi. Partizan warfare was assuming alarming dimensions. In a Single swoop two thousand French recruits under Baraguey d'hilliers had been made prisoners, and Similar events were growing all too fre quent. In consequence of these crushing discouragements the whole army was rearrayed. We must march as we did in Egypt, ran the order: the baggage in the middle, as densely surrounded as the road will permit with a half battalion in front, a half battalion behind, battal ions right and left, so that when we face we can fire in every direction. Ney's corps was then assigned to the place of danger in the rear - a place he kept with desperate gallantry until he earned the title brav est of the brave.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Napoleon Buonaparte, Emperor of the French, Vol. 1 of 2: With a Preliminary View of the French Revolution On the execution of his task, it becomes the author to be silent. He is aware it must exhibit many faults but he claims credit for having brought to the undertaking a mind disposed to do his sub ject as impartial justice as his judgment could supply. He will be found no enemy to the person of Napoleon. The term of bestill ty is ended when the battle has been won, and the foe exists no longer. His splendid personal qualities-his great military actions and poutical services to France, will not, it is hoped, be found lessened in the narrative. Unhappily, the author's task involved a duty of another kind, 'the discharge of which is due to France, to Britain, to Europe, and to the world. If the general system of Napoleon has rested upon force or fraud, it is neither the great ness of his talents, nor the success of his undertakings, that ought to stifle the voice or dazzle the eyes of him who adventures to be 'his historian.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Napoleon Bonaparte, Vol. 1 In the closing years of the eighteenth century European society began its effort to get rid of benevolent despotism, so called, and to secure its liberties under forms of constitutional government. The struggle began in France, and spread over the more important lands of continental Europe; its influence was strongly felt in England, and even in the United States. Passing through the phases of constitutional reform, of anarchy, and of military despotism, the movement seemed for a time to have failed, and to outward appearances absolutism was stronger after Waterloo than it had been half a century earlier. But the force of the revolution was only checked, not spent; and to the awakening of general intelligence, the strengthening of national feeling, and the upbuilding of a sense of common brotherhood among men, produced by the revolutionary struggles of this epoch, Europe owes whatever liberty and free government its peoples now enjoy. At the close of this period national power was no longer in the hands of the aristocracy, nor in those of kings; it had passed into the third social stratum, variously designated as the middle class, the burghers or bourgeoisie, and the third estate, a body of men as little willing to share it with the masses as the kings had been. Nevertheless, the transition once begun could not be stopped, and the advance of manhood suffrage has ever since been proportionate to the capacity of the laboring classes to receive and use it, until now at last, whatever may be the nominal form of government in any civilized land, its stability depends entirely upon the support of the people as a whole. That which is the basis of all government-the power of the purse - has passed into their hands. This momentous change was of course a turbulent one-the most turbulent in the history of civilization, as it has proved to be the most comprehensive.
