Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Analysis of the Talents and Character of Napoleon Bonaparte Some books are written to please every body and instruct nobody; others to instruct every body and please nobody; but to which class of productions the "Analysis of the Character and Talents of Napoleon Bonaparte" may belong, it is not for the Author to say. The intention certainly is to instruct, by an endeavour to come at a knowledge of the component parts of the character of one of the most extraordinary men that ever existed. So many circumstances have combined to throw a false glory over those transactions in which he was the principal actor, that every thing should be done that can be done to come at the truth. If it should be said that it is too early - the answer is ready. It never can be too early. From whom do the best historians obtain their most valuable materials?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Napoleon Napoleonic idea; it is the best draw possible in a free country with a free people, who overlook the fact that he was the most despotic ruler the world has ever known. NO more splendid monument has been raised to his grandeur than the elaborate work lately prepared by Professor Sloane. Here in England, too, the country of his peculiar and persistent aversion, which he never dared attack, but would have ruined insidiously by his commercial system, Napoleon enjoys unbounded popularity. Every book about him is read with avidity new works elucidating new phases in-his many-sided character appear continually, and are welcomed widely they are in large demand at the booksellers and the lending libraries. The walls of the Academy year after year bear witness to the hold he has on the artistic imagination; adaptations from the French stage attract large audiences at London theatres.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Napoleon a Sketch of His Life, Character, Struggles, and Achievements IN this volume the author has made the effort to portray Napoleon as he appears to an' average man. Archives have not been rummaged, new sources of information have not been discovered; the author merely claims to have used such authorities, old and new, as are accessible to any diligent student. No attempt has been made to give a full and detailed account of Napoleon's life or work. To do so would have required the labor of a decade, and the result would be almost a library. The author has tried to give to the great Corsican his proper historical position, his true rating as a man and a ruler, - together with a just estimate of his achievements.

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.

Sweeping censures on a natural sentiment cast blame On the Creator. This prin ciple shows itself in the very dawn of our existence. -the child never exults and rejoices more, than when it becomes conscious of power by overcoming difficulties, or compassing new. Ends. All our desires and appetites lend aid and energy to this passion, for all find increase of gratification, in proportion to our in crease Of power. We ought to add, that this principle is fed from nobler sources. Power is a chief element of all the com manding qualities of our nature. It enters into all the higher virtues; such as magnanimity, fortitude, constancy. It enters into intellectual eminence. It is power of thought and utterance which immortalizes the products of genius. Is it strange that an attribute, through whichall our passions reach their objects, and which characterises whatever is great or admirable in man, should awaken intense desire, and be sought as one of the'chief goods of life?

This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Napoleon, Vol. 1 of 2 The character and actions of Napoleon have never found in this country, as in France - a circumstance by no means extraordinary what is understood by a mere partisan. Nearly every one of his English historians and biographers have been direct and manfully avowed enemies and denouncers. The constant fear of being daz zled by the false glory (a salutary fear with reference to the glory of all deeds of war) of this particular here, has led to an Opposite extreme, and injured the sight as to various qualities, actions, and facts, which at least claimed always a just, as they often deserved a generous, estimation. The chief exception to the general feeling of unqualified hostility is to be found in Hazlitt, Whose earnest, powerful, though somewhat rambling work, written in the full vein of admiration, contains, nevertheless, some of the heaviest animad versions. These passages have, for the most part, been quoted, as an act of justice towards all parties. Emanating from such an ad mirer, they must indeed have been deserved; in other instances, however, I have almost always abstained from using strong language of any kind, my plan being rather to let events take their course, and narrate them as they occurred, without identifying myself, or any one else, in the scene, more than absolutely necessary or inevitable to our common conditions of humanity.

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 2017-12-16 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birthplace and Childhood of Napoleon Lanfrey, in his Vie de Napoleon says that the childhood and youth of great men necessariey elude history, for the reason that youth, with its secret trans formations and psychological mysteries, is a diflicult study. And one in which very few certain ideas can be formed even by the most attentive observer. It is an age of growth, in which the whole man is aha/aging and im settled. This is true, yet the childhood of Napoleon was marked by many traits of character which, in mature development, can be traced back to early infancy, and however trivial some of the incidents may seem, still the trite saying of Wordsworth, that the child is father to the man, is amply exemplified. In the following pages I have endeavoured to throw more light on his early years, by gathering together from various sources all that appears to be known resfecting him. The descrittion of the house of the Buonapartes in Ajaccio is taken from notes made by Mr. G. E. Thompson during a tour through Corsica in 7894. Theillustrations from photographs by his camera, of the interior of the house and Napoleonic relics, form the chief interest of the work, for writing a book is like building a house. A man forms a plan, and collects materials; he thinks he has enough to raise a large and stately edifice but after he has arranged, compacted and polished, his work turns out to be but a very small performance.
