Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Napoleon Buonaparte, Vol. 1 On the work to which the reader is here introduced, Hazlitt was content to rest his claim to distinction as an author; it is his largest work and his last. He lived to complete the Life of Napoleon, and then laid down his own. He intended to add an Index, which it has been necessary to supply from another hand, for his was stiff and cold before he could accomplish it. He contemplated a Preface, and as the work would wear an unusual appearance without such an introduction, it has been deemed proper to make it the vehicle of a few remarks on the work and its author. Hazlitt rarely wrote till he was urged by necessity: but the Life of Napoleon was undertaken by choice. He felt that injustice had been done to the character of that extraordinary man, in every attempt that had been hitherto made to describe it. Much time was occupied, and great expense incurred, to obtain ample materials for the present work. Not satisfied with books and written documents, Hazlitt saw and conversed with the persons most likely to afford him information. He resided two years in Paris for this especial purpose; and the work, in consequence, possesses anecdotes and facts which throw quite a new light on many subjects hitherto seen "through a glass darkly."
