Description

Excerpt from Napoleon's Notes on English History Made on the Eve of the French, Revolution: Illustrated From Con-Temporary Historians and Refreshed From the Findings of Later Research We have no indication that Napoleon knew Rapin's History it seems probable that he may have seen the work in France at some time. Had he been allowed to sojourn in England as a private gentleman, we may be sure that he, like Henry Hallam, would have treasured it as one of his best books. Hume he read in a translation at St. Helena, and declared that he would rather have a few hundred more books than the new house they were sending out to him from England. The translations of the Histories of Carte and Barrow were also in circulation in France during Napoleon's youth. With Rapin and Hume, they formed the best sources of information respecting our country. My first object therefore has been to throw the true atmosphere round Napoleon's historic abstract by means of contemporary notes. It is important to realise exactly what material was available in 1788 to a historical student, and what was the best available work that could have been done with it.
