Prot. William N. Sloane gives sn In
terestlng analysis Of the youthful ma
ture Of Napoleon In Century. The
period under consideration is that I'm.
mediately following Napoleon's flight
from Corsica, when he had renowned
his arm allegiance to Paoli In the be-
lief that II would improve his own
chance for prefsrment, Prof. Sloane
sayG
Not that the outcast Buopaparte was
any longer exclusively a Corslcan. II
d impossible to conceive ola lot more
pitiful or . fate more obdurate than
his had 10 far been, There was little
hereditary morality In his nature. and
none had boon inculcatcd BY trainingI
~ hid no vital piety, nor even sin-
cerc superstition. A butt and an out
cast a . French school undcr the old
regime, be had imbibed . bitter hatred
for the land indelibly aasociated with
such naughty privileges for the rich
and such oontemptuous dlsdsin fps the
poor He had not even tho consolation
Of having received an education. HI
nature rcvolted at the religious formal
Ism Of priestcraft, his mind turned In
disgust from the scholastic huaks II IL
superficial knowledge. What be had
learned came from Unborn capacity,
from desultory reading, and from the
untutorcd imaginlngs Of his garden ct
Bricnnc, his cave at Ajaccio, or his bar
rack chamberA What more plausible
than that he should FIRST turn 70 tho
land Of his birth with some hope Of
happiness usefulness, or even gloryl
What more Notifying than tho btupe.
