Description
Excerpt from A Short History of Napoleon the First
I have, therefore, subordinated everything to clearness and unity, and there are some aspects of the life which, to gain room, I have con sciously omitted altogether. For instance, no attempt is made here either to describe or to estimate N apoleon as a military commander. I do not write a soldier''s history of him, and accordingly, though I endeavour to give the strategical outline of each campaign correctly, the battles will be found to be not only not described, but not even narrated they are merely registered. Again, I refrain almost entirely from drawing upon the fund of private, personal.
