The author gives his sacred word of honor that on other person but myself is in possession of the work nor shall it be given to any one but to the person whom I may dispose of it who shall when paid for by him be the compleat & sole proprietor of this work."

Napoleon proclaimed his brother Louis King of Holland in 1806. From the first the emperor reproached him for being too easy on his subjects. By 1809 Napoleon was considering annexing Holland in order to arrest the trade the Dutch secretly conducted with England. In 1810 failing to negotiate successfully with either England or Louis the Emperor dispatched French troops against the Dutch capital. Louis abdicated and fled his kingdom which on July 9 Napoleon annexed to France. Styling himself the Comte de Saint-Leu Louis lived for some time in Bohemia Austria and Switzerland.
