Excerpt from Memoirs of Napoleon
Bonaparte's merit: as for myself, I do not even pretend to aspire to the honour of being his biographer. I am only about to relate all that I know of this extra ordinary man, and which I believe I know well - that which I have seen and heard, and of which I have preserved numerous notes. With confidence I call him an extraordinary man, who, owing everything to him self, acquired the most absolute sway over a great and enlightened nation, obtained so many victories, subdued so many states, distributed crowns to his family, made and unmade kings, and who became nearly the most ancient sovereign in Europe, and who was, without doubt, the most distinguished of his age, such an in dividual cannot be called an ordinary man.
Napoleon Bonaparte was born at Ajaccio, in Corsica, on the 1sth of August, 1769. The name was originally written Buonaparte; but during the first campaign in Italy he dropped the a, merely to render the spelling conformable with the pronunciation, and to abridge his signature.
