napoleon's assumption of the imperial throne, and cokonation. — ^january-december, 1804. It were well for the memory of Napoleon if the his- CHAP. torian could stop here, and, after havmg recounted the .' matchless glories of his military exploits, conclude with ^^^' the admirable wisdom of his civil administration, and the FavouWbie fcUcity with which, amidst so many difficulties, he recon- S^Sfeon-8 structed the disjointed elements of society after the Revolu- m\h™*°* tion. But history is not... made up wholly of panegyric; and fmt^ **' after discharging the pleasing duty of recording the great and comparatively blameless achievements which signaUsed the consulate, there remains the painful task of narrating the foul transactions, the dark and bloody deeds, which ushered in the empire. Everything seemed to smile upon Napoleon. In the civil administration all were reconciled to the consulate for life, or submitted in silence to an authority which they could not resist. The army, dazzled by his brilUant exploits, had rallied round his standard, and sought only to give expression to its admiration for the illustrious chief who had raised to such an impreee- dented height the glory of the Republican ensigns.
