Book Description
The product of twenty years of laborious hard work, this is the definitive work on Napoleon and his times at the helm of the French Nation, written by no less than the first President of the Third Republic. Thiers moved in the highest circles of society and met with many of the surviving generals and statesmen of France and her opponents and wove their recollections into this monumental history. Filled with a particularly Gallic flavour without going into hero-worship, this multi-volume history has stood the test of time. Napoleon’s power reaches its zenith in the fourth volume with the crushing of Austria at Austerlitz in 1805, Prussia at Jena in 1806 and Russia at Friedland in 1807. Includes the Napoleonic Wars Map Pack with over 155 maps and plans following the military career of Napoleon.

Book Description
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.

The public, in particular, eager after metallic specie, apprised of its rarity at the bank, thronged to its offices to convert notes into cash. Malevolent persons joining those who were alarmed, the crisis soon became general. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Consulate and the Empire of France Under Napoleon, Vol. 12 of 12 What we have said shows how great would have been the folly of hastening to the Rhine on the morrow of the 20th of March to take advantage of the enthusiasm excited by the miraculous return from Elba. Had Napoleon done so, he would have met forces triple and quadruple the strength of his own; he would, by going so far, have made the reconstruction of our regiments more difficult and almost impossible, and finally, he would have turned against him all those who desired that every means of preserving peace should be tried, and who would not pardon his going to war unless it was absolutely inevi table. But if it were wise to wait until our forces were drawn from the inefficient state in which they were on 20th of March, and until the hostile dispositions of Europe were no longer doubtful, there remained an important question, whether having waited until the middle of June, it would not have been better to wait until the middle of July or August, when our forces would have been completely organised.
