Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Emperor Napoleon III
IN writing my preceding works upon the Second Empire, I have allowed myself to be carried away by the element of strangeness, and also by the anecdotal interest Of the mate rials which have helped me prepare my history; I have seldom had reason to be deeply moved, to experience that tremor Of the senses or that tragic emotion which is fatally roused by an idyllic poem or by a bloody epic.
