Excerpt from The History of Napoleon III, Emperor of the French: Including a Brief Narrative of All the Most Important Events Which Have Occurred in Europe Since the Fall of Napoleon I. Until the Present Time In writing the history of the establishment of the French Empire under Napoleon I., and its overthrow by the allied dynasties of Europe, the author spent four years of severe labor. Fully aware that the judgment of America upon these themes had been formed mainly from the representations of the Tory writers gf England, and that Napoleon had been denounced as a tyrant and a usurper by nearly the uncontradicted voice of English literature, the writer felt the necessity of scrupulous exactness in every statement. He visited England and the Continent to collect the works of all the leading writers upon the subject. 1 le endeavored carefully and impartially to examine upon every point the opinions of the different parties. Few books have been more severely assailed; and yet the writer is not aware that a single error of statement has yet been pointed out, calling for correction. In now writing the history of the restoration of the empire under Napoleon III., the writer has been equally laborious in investigation, and conscientious in statement. From the commencement of the restored empire, in 1852, until the present time, he has carefully studied all its movements. Twice he has visited France to observe the practical operations of the government. He has conversed with distinguished French gentlemen of the different political and religious parties, and has carefully listened to the observations of intelligent foreigners from the different nationalities of Europe and America residing in Paris. He has also collected from London and Paris every book and pamphlet he could find upon the subject of the empire, whether from the pen of friend or foe. Thus furnished, he has written this book with as honest and earnest a desire to present the truth as it is possible for him to possess. It has been his great aim that every-statement should be so accurate as to stand the test of the severest scrutiny. Being himself u republican, lie is not in danger of being biassed in favor of imperial forms. Being a Protestant clergyman, he is not liable to look with too favorable an eye upon the Roman-Catholic religion.
