The History of Napoleon Buonaparte

INTRODUCTION
4/4

Each time Napoleon was seated in the same carriage, in the same seat, dressed in the same attire; each time, it was the same look, lost and vague; each time, the same head, calm and impassible, only his brow was a little more bent over his breast in returning than in going.

Was it from weariness that he could not sleep, or from grief to have lost the world ?" This is the French postscript to many English books about the victor and loser of the world.
