Memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte: The Court of the First Empire Part One
Baron C. F. de Meneval
- This work is Part 1 of 3 containing a Special Introduction and Illustrations. From the Introduction: Of the numberless books about Napoleon, this is one of the most interesting and authoritative, because intimate and sincere. The author, Claude Francois, Baron de Meneval, was in the closet relations with that notable personage, as private secretary and confidential agent, familiar with his daily thoughts and acts, during his most active years of achievement - from April, 1802, until St. Helena in 1815. A reviewer in the London Academy wrote: A continual eyewitness gives a view of Napoleon in his camp, his closet, his Court, and his home; no doubt favorable, but essentially correct; adding that it should be in the hands of all who wish to study and understand Napoleon.
