To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is difficulty, it is danger, which make an action grand, and in the action just performed by the Chamber there was neither difficulty nor danger." Napoleon received the deputation from the Assem- bly with calm and dignified indifference. " I thank you," said he; "I desire that my abdication may assure the welfare of France, but I do not hope it." He terminated thus his brief allocution: "There is NAPOLEON II. 191 no question of me, but only of my son and France. Believe me, be united." Then ...he bowed to the mem- bers of the deputation, who retired in profound emo- tion. Shortly after their departure he learned that the Chamber of Representatives, instead of proclaim- ing Napoleon II. and instituting the Regency, had appointed an executive committee without saying a word about the Empire and imperial institutions. Then he exclaimed : " I did not abdicate in favor of a new Directory ; I abdicated in favor of my son ; if they do not proclaim him, my abdication is null and void. It is not by crawling on the ground before the Allies that the Chambers can force them to recognize the national independence." Meantime, scenes really tragical were passing in the Chamber of Peers.
