Excerpt from Louis Napoleon: Emperor of the French; A Biography
This is no party book. My aim in it has been to forestall, as far as possible, the decisions of posterity, and to paint Louis Napoleon as history will paint him, when it comes dispassionately to review his career. The moderation of my views may, perhaps, displease the extreme members of all parties. But I do not write for them. I address myself to that large body of Englishmen who love fair play in all things, and are able immediately to distinguish truth from its opposite.
In composing my narrative, I have consulted all the authorities accessible to me.
