Napoleon himself was not more elevat- ed in the serene egoism of cold, self centered genius above his crimes, cruel ties, treacheries and atrocious policies than Talleyrand was above his profigacy as priest, his venality as minister and his political treachery, if no darker name is to be given to 1t. Napoleon call ed Talleyrand silk stocking full of filth He charged on him the murder of the Due D'Enghien and never ceased to watch him with suspicion. What Talley- rand thought of Napoleon, he has writ ten down with no less freedom and at far greater length in his Memoirs. In gen. eral, his judgment Is that to which Taine has given expression, a Titan of force, genius, and intellectual resources, mor- ally blank and demonic. Napoleon had his line of self vindication, which is brought out in his letters, memoirs and St Helena refiections.-[ Independent.
