Σελίδα iii - Memoirs of the History of France during the reign of Napoleon, dictated by the Emperor at Saint Helena to the Generals who shared his captivity ; and published from the Original Manuscripts corrected by himself.
Σελίδα xvi - Exposed to the factions which divide my country, and to the enmity of the great powers of Europe, I have terminated my political career, and I come, like Themistocles, to throw myself on the hospitality (litwatty, to seat myself on the hearths) of the British people.
Σελίδα 82 - I will faithfully fulfil the task with which you have entrusted me : let us not look into the past for examples of what is now going on. Nothing in history resembles the end of the eighteenth century ; nothing in the eighteenth century resembles the present moment.

The Constitution being violated, there must be a new compact, new guarantees.
Σελίδα 62 - Sieyes came to Napoleon, and took him into the recess of a window, while the Committee was deliberating upon the answer to be given to the summons of the sections. " You hear them, General," said he, " they talk while they should be acting. Bodies of men are wholly unfit to direct armies, for they know not the value of time or opportunity.
