Overall, The Memoirs of Napoleon, Volume 5, 1802 is a valuable historical document that offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of one of the most significant figures in European history.Before I speak of the conspiracy of Ceracchi, Arena, Topino-Lebrun, and others, I must notice a remark made by Napoleon at St. Helena. He said, or is alleged to have said, ""The two attempts which placed me in the greatest danger were those of the sculptor Ceracchi and of the fanatic of Schoenbrun.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
