A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Emperor. And then I went back over the story of the advance, the sudden passage of the Niemen by Kowno that fatal Rubicon and the march to Wilna pretty Wilna, lying in its hollow among picturesque and wooded hills when all was bright before the French leader and his usual fortune smiled on him. Then, too, the Russians had not yet begun to burn their villages and towns and lay waste their country, as they did when he advanced to Witepsk and Smolensk, and showed to him with what fierce and relentless hatred they sacrificed everything to destruction in their magnificent energy of hostility to his invasion of their country. At about a mile distance from the northern gate on my left there was visible, at the edge of the great military plain, the Palace of Peterhofi, to which Napoleon had gone after viewing the city from the Sparrow Hills, and where he remained for two days in vain expectation of the authorities of Moscow coming out to him, as usual in similar circumstances, with the keys of the town a deputation of the conquered to the victor, to beg for clemency.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
