The soul of
Napoleon is an eternal riddle and it will never be completely solved
There are the obvious incentives : statecraft,
secrets of leadership, mastery over men and circumstances
There is one famous example : when in 1807
designs for a new coinage were submitted to him with the following wording : Napoleone
protegge l’Italia the Emperor wrote on the margin. 'this is most unsuitable. The
word proposed instead of ‘God protect’ is indecent.'
