Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte, Vol. 1 of 4 The peculiar advantages of position, in regard to his present subject, so long enjoyed by M. de Bourrienne, from his official situation, his literary accomplishments and moral qualifications, have already obtained for these Memoirs the first rank of authenticity in contemporary history. In France, where they had for years been expected with anxiety, and where, since the Revolution, no work, connected with that period, or its consequent events, has created so great a sensation, the volumes of Bourrienne have, from the first, been accepted as the only trustworthy exhibition of the private life and political principles of Napoleon.
