Publisher's Synopsis
The various historical and political works of Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, though composed at intervals, and while the author was in exile or captivity, have all one great object mainly in view, the constitutional reorganization of France. His theory of national reformation is based upon a revival of what he terms the Idée Napoléonienne, which he labors to show is the only political system which can meet the requirements, accord with the habits, and command the respect and sympathy of the French nation.
