NATIONAL CHARACTER OF ENGLISHMEN.
" E'hat a fool I was" (said Napoleon to O'Meara)

your national character; I had formed a romantic idea

sneereiens whose countries I had conquered, and whose
•
capitals I had entered in triumph ; and I determined to

be obliged to act as I did in liolland—redoce the in-

powerful than all of them put together. The only way
