To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Giving his misty recollections of Imperial days, the blind old man became strangely transfigured. " My father, " said he, " told me I would have followed him to the ends of the earth, and all the others would have been with me, because he was the great Emperor. " His voice gathering strength, he continued " The Emperor is dead and my father is dead, and I am old in my turn, but if the Emperor were to come back I should go off with him like my father. "Vive I'Empereur !" Musing over the history ...of this stupendous man (who, as he himself said, conquered hearts as well as countries), and surveying his extraordinary career from Fleurus to the Pyramids, from Arcola to The Romantic Past 247 Austerlitz, from Wagram to Jena, and from Moscow to Waterloo the nations he subjugated and the thrones he overthrew, even the most ardent admirer of Napoleon must deplore the immense amount of bloodshed, suffering, and misery which his con- quering eagles left in their train, and plunged into a different line of thought, remember the peaceful visit paid in the days of his Consulate to Ermenonville.
