him.. Ashamed afterward OF this ebullition,
he sent him go, 900 frames. StendhRl says that
ho had heard ono Of the bravest Generals con-
tend that a slap given by the Emperor inflicted
no dlshonor, inasmuch as it was simply a sign
OF dissatisfaction on the part Of the chief Of tho
State.
As time won't on the men who had acquired
during the revolution q thorough knowledge
OF the public business aban lopcd Napoleon in
disgust, and tho young people who might have
replaced them sought only to vie with each
other in s%ervility. That was the only way to
get on with the Duke OF Bassano, who, next to
tho Emperor, was n~ll.powerful in the civil adj
mlnistraJlon. The sure way TO ruin ones self
with him was to exhibit intellect. His favor.
ties. according to Stendhal, were people &C.
cused Of inability to read. How then did France
manage TO get on under Ministers who fol-
lowed methods go absurdi Stendhal answers
that France got on through the intense emuln.
ton with which all ranks OF society had been
inspired by Napoleon. The primo motor OF tho
French OF that period was the love OF glory.
The smallest apothecary's clerk, to'ling in his
masters back hhop, was infiamed with the idea
that II he made a great discovery he would have
tho cross and would be made u Count. Whcr-
ever Napoleon showed himself, and ho ira
versed every square rood Of his vast empire. IL
real merit could once pierce the rampant formed
by his Ministers and chamberlnins, 1t was sure
OF IN immense reward.
In a final chapter on the civil administration
Stcndhal recalls that Thirteen and a half
years of success made Alexander the Great n
kind Of madman. A success of precisely the
same duration produced in Napoleon the same
kind OF madness. The sole difference is that
the Macedonian horo had the good luck to die.
What glory would not Napoleon have left be-
hind him, as a conqueror, had he had the luck
to stop n bullet on the evening after the battle
of the Moskowal"
To appreciate the breadth of knowledge and
the penetration evinced by Stendhal In these
notes, notes which mako Theirs seem common
place and give us a foretaste of Taine, we
should bear in mind that they were penned
while Napoleon was still living; that is to say,
between 1917 and 1920, when the writer was
