ABOUT THE BOOK: Biography of Napoleon Bonaparte (15 August 1769 - 5 May 1821) first published in 1855. Napoleon was a French military and political leader who rose to prominence during the latter stages of the French Revolution and its associated wars in Europe.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: John Stevens Cabot Abbott, 19 September 1805 – 17 June 1877, was an American historian, pastor, and pedagogical writer. He is best known as the author of the widely popular History of Napoleon Bonaparte (1855), in which the various elements and episodes in Napoleon's career are described. Abbott takes a very favorable view towards his subject throughout.
EXCERPT FROM THE PREFACE: The history of Napoleon has often been written by his enemies. This narrative is from the pen of one who reveres and loves the Emperor. The writer admires Napoleon because he abhorred war, and did every thing in his power to avert that dire calamity; because he merited the sovereignty to which the suffrages of a grateful nation elevated him; because he consecrated the most extraordinary energies ever conferred upon a mortal to promote the prosperity of his country; because he was regardless of luxury, and cheerfully endured all toil and all hardships he might elevate and bless the masses of mankind; because he had a high sense of honor, revered religion, respected the rights of conscience, and nobly advocated equality of privileges and the universal brotherhood of man. Such was the true character of Napoleon Bonaparte. The narrative contained in these pages is offered as a demonstration of the truth of this assertion.
