Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Papers Upon Men and Events of Rare Interest in the Napoleonic Epoch, Vol. 2 of 2 The world has so long recognized in the Emperor Napoleon the Supreme Master of the Art of War, in his own, or in any other age, and still recalls with such undying interest and admiration his marvellous achievements upon the field of battle, that it scarcely does the same justice to his equally profound abilities as a ruler, statesman and legislator. Among the many splendid and beneficent achievements of the Emperor, as a legislator, there remain, to this day, in full activity, and, if possible, in even greater measure of good and usefulness to many millions of men, because of their experienced wisdom and justice, the two great civil measures of which this paper treats, and which will form imperishable monuments to his greatness as a ruler: The Code Napoleon, and The Bank of France. He himself observed at St. Helena, upon a calm retrospect of his career that, "his fame in the eyes of posterity would rest even more on the Code which bore his name than all the victories which he won:" and the permanent adoption of the Code Napoleon as the basis of the jurisprudence of half of Europe has already proved the truth of the prophecy.
