[Monge's] tenure at the Ministry of the Navy was a complete failure and he presided over the cultural pillage of Italy and Egypt. If Napoleon actually said that Monge loved him like a mistress, it proves that the utmost mathematical clarity can go hand in hand with political blindness.
[Monge's] pagmamay-ari at ang Ministri ng Navy ay isang kumpletong kabiguan at siya presided over ang kultural na looban ng Italya at Egypt.
