Napoleon's father, Charles Bonaparte, was the honored progenitor of
thirteen children, of whom the man who subsequently became the
Emperor of the French, by some curious provision of fate, was the
second. That the infant Napoleon should have followed rather than
led the procession is so foreign to the nature of the man that many
worthy persons unfamiliar with the true facts of history have
believed that Joseph was a purely apocryphal infant, or, as some
have suggested, merely an adopted child; but that Napoleon did upon
this occasion content himself with second place is an
incontrovertible fact. Nor is it entirely unaccountable. It is
hardly to be supposed that a true military genius, such as Napoleon
is universally conceded to have been, would plunge into the midst
of a great battle without first having acquainted himself with the
possibilities of the future.
