Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) is best remembered for establishing
the First French Empire, declaring himself Emperor of the French in
1804. His military campaigns across Europe sparked the Napoleonic
Wars (1803-1815) and profoundly shaped European political and
economic activities during the early nineteenth century. These
volumes, edited by military officer and historian Denis Arthur
Bingham and first published in 1884, contain translations of a
selection of Bonaparte's letters. Bonaparte was a prolific letter
writer, and the translations in these volumes describe a variety of
domestic and international situations, including his early military
career, his reports on the invasion of Egypt, and his criticism of
his relatives who he had installed on the thrones of various
conquered countries. Arranged by year with concise explanatory
notes, these volumes provide a valuable and fascinating resource
for the study of Bonaparte's career and character. Volume 1 covers
his childhood and career until 1802.
