Description
Saint-Cloud is where Napoleon staged his coup and overthrew the revolutionary government.
"A Manuscript, found in the portfolio of Las Casas, containing Maxims and Observations of Napoleon, collected during the last two years of his residence at St. Helena. Translated from the French, printed for Alexander Black, foreign libary, 77, Pall-mall, 1820." So reads the title page of the volume. Questions about its provenance or accuracy derive from the fact that the British confiscated Las Casas papers, and it spent some time in their care. The British might have created it or altered it for propaganda reasons. The forward by a French author states that the contents are convincingly Napoleonic. Searches on the web found nothing in English to identify the volume as authoritative or not. It is widely available in old books collections and libraries around the world, suggesting it was accepted as legitimate. It also seems to be the source of "Napoleon's Maxims of War". Given how widely it was published and accepted, I expect it is considered authentic, though there is no Wiki entry, or history of the book aside from descriptions from online booksellers. It is available free in PDF from Google books. It should be interesting to go through.

Love the twisted allegory. The rhythm of the composition creates (in combination with the rational context) creates lovely mood - one must not be serious about the life and politics at all :-).
