By William Ellery Channing

Book Overview

Remarks On The Character Of Napoleon Bonaparte: Occasioned By The Publication Of Scott�������s Life Of Napoleon (1831) is a book written by William Ellery Channing. The book is a critical analysis of the character of Napoleon Bonaparte, the French military leader and emperor who rose to power in the late 18th century. Channing's analysis is based on the publication of Sir Walter Scott's biography of Napoleon, which was released in 1827. Channing argues that Scott's biography presents a biased and overly favorable view of Napoleon, and that the true character of the man was much more complex and morally ambiguous. In his analysis, Channing examines Napoleon's military campaigns, his political ambitions, and his personal life, drawing on historical evidence to paint a nuanced portrait of the man behind the legend. The book provides a fascinating insight into the character of one of the most influential figures in European history, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the Napoleonic era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
