The Memoirs of Napoleon, Volume 12, 1814 is a historical book written by Louis Antoine Fauvelet de Bourrienne. This book is a part of a series of memoirs that covers the life and reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the most famous and controversial figures in European history. The 12th volume of the series focuses on the year 1814, which was a critical year in Napoleon's life. It was the year when he was forced to abdicate his throne and was exiled to the island of Elba. The book provides a detailed account of the events that led to Napoleon's downfall, including the Battle of Leipzig and the Treaty of Fontainebleau. It also sheds light on the personal life of Napoleon, his relationships with his family, friends, and enemies, and his thoughts and feelings about his own legacy. The book is based on Bourrienne's personal experiences and observations as Napoleon's private secretary and close friend. It is a valuable source of information for anyone interested in the history of France and Europe in the early 19th century, as well as for those who want to learn more about the life and personality of Napoleon Bonaparte.The campaign of France forced Napoleon to adopt a kind of operations quite new to him. He had been accustomed to attack; but he was now obliged to stand on his defence, so that, instead of having to execute a previously conceived plan, as when, in the Cabinet of the Tuileries, he traced out to me the field of Marengo, he had now to determine his movements according to those of his numerous enemies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
