1930009435Houghton Mifflin Boston and New York 1930 ©1910 1930. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 508 pages ; 21 cm ; OCLC 1872724 ; textured blue cloth in grey and black pictorial dustjacket ; "The matter with the exception of the few bracketed passages is derived entirely from Napoleon's own words written and spoken. But there are abbreviations and transpositions of words and of dates. The abbreviations are not shown for the reason that they are of constant recurrence and this general warning is therefore substituted for the usual typographical indication. The transpositions of date are made for the purpose of maintaining the journal form and belong in all except rare cases to one of the two following classes: first the placing of the details of an event that were written a day or two after it at the very day of that event; secondly the placing of a statement uttered at St. Helena forward under the date of the event itself. Of this second class there are not many instances. There are also a number of cases of composite texts as for instance the speech to the Council of Ancients on the 19th of Brumaire or that to the Polish officers on the retreat from Leipzig each made up from several versions. Once for all the warning is given that such is the case as from the nature of the book the footnotes covering this and the other matters mentioned appeared to be out of place; they would have been longer than the text itself. Two minor points also require notice: that the dates in terms of the revolutionary calendar have been modernized; and that the names and titles of individuals mentioned have been used with no attempt at uniformity; thus Ney may be referred to under that name long after he had become Duke of Elchingen and Prince of the Moskowa. In an appendix the Napoleonic titles are tabulated so that the reader can always refer back if necessary. In conclusion what truth this book conveys is not to be sought according to those rules for the treatment of historical documents which it avowedly contravenes but in such psychological illumination of agreat career and character as the method employed has rendered possible. For objectively Napoleon rarely if ever speaks the truth; yet subjectively how can he speak otherwise " --R. M.
