The Campaigns of Napoleon Buonaparte, Embracing the Events of His Unexampled Military Career, From the Siege of Toulon, to the Battle of Waterloo (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Campaigns of Napoleon Buonaparte, Embracing the Events of His Unexampled Military Career, From the Siege of Toulon, to the Battle of Waterloo

This work advances no greater claim to public consideration than that of a compilation. In the prosecution of his task, the compiler has made numerous extracts from the works of Scott, Lockhart, Clarke, and other English authors, yet he has avoided those comments upon the political character and acts of Napoleon which evidently partake of the national feelings and prejudices of those writers. The design of this work is to give to the reader a faithful narrative of those great military operations, which agitated Europe for a period of twenty years. The materials have been drawn from sources that may be relied upon, and the compiler has endeavored to arrange them so as to present a comprehensive narrative of Napoleon's military career, together with the most important incidents of his private and political life, - leaving to the reader the privilege of making his own comments, and to history the task of doing justice to the character of Napoleon.
