Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Napoleon Louis Bonaparte, First President of France: Biographical and Personal Sketches, Including a Visit to the Prince at the Castle of Ham It is not merely in compliance with a customary form that I am induced to write these few lines of preface. My purpose is more grave; and I ask the attention of those who may honor this unpretending brochure with their perusal, to a serious examination of the reflections that I am glad of such an occasion to express. The people of the United States are not aware of a tremendous fact, touching their interests, their honor, and their intelligence, which it is high time was announced in trumpet tones. They are not aware that they are, and have been since their political existence, living under an influence which misleads their minds, poisons their sentiments, and betrays their conduct into false and devious courses. They are not aware that they, the most independent, bold, and sagacious of all nations, are yet under the entire control of a foreign domination, the more absolute that its power is not suspected, and the more mendacious that its hypocrisy, its craft, and its presumption have never been brought into question. The time has arrived in the history of the world when the people of this country should be awaked from their illusions, and be demanded to exercise for their own good and the safety of liberty, that noble faculty of reason which has in them acquired a vigor, an acuteness, and a discrimination that has never before been witnessed amongst men. The fact - this influence, and the domination that I speak of - is, the complete ascendency of the aristocratic mind of England over the democratic mind of the United States. This displays itself in everything and everywhere. It guides our judgment of things, and determines our opinions of men. It has entered into our institutions, it has biassed our laws, it has shaped our ideas, and too often directed our sentiments.
