DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt 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.
