Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Napoleon Buonaparte, Emperor of the French, Vol. 1 of 3: With a Preliminary View of the French Revolution The extent and purpose of this work, have, in the course of its progress, gradually but essentially changed from what the author originally proposed. It was at first intended mere ly as a brief and popular abstract of the most wonderful man, and the most extraordinary events of the last thirty years - ia short. To emulate the concise yet most interesting history of the great British Admiral, by the poet-laureate of Britain. The author was partly induced to undertake the task, by having formerly drawn up for a periodical work, The Edinburgh nmml Register, the history of the two great campaigns of 1814 and 18159 and three volumes was the compass assigned to the proposed work. An intlvuctory volume, giving a ge. Here! Account of the Rise and Progress of' the Revolution, was thought necessary; and the single voltfine, on a theme of such extent, soon swelled into two.
