This file was produced from images generously made available by the Bibliotheque nationale de France (BnF/Gallica) "Mémoires du duc de Rovigo, pour servir à l'histoire de l'empereur Napoléon" is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book offers a first-hand perspective from the Duc de Rovigo, a key figure during the Napoleonic Era, as he reflects on his experiences and the actions of Emperor Napoleon. It aims to provide insight into the political motivations behind Napoleon's decisions and the tumultuous period of the French Revolution and subsequent wars, rather than critiquing or glorifying events. The opening of the memoir establishes the author’s intention to defend the character and memory of Napoleon against calumny and misrepresentation faced posthumously. The preface outlines his loyalty and dedication to Napoleon, illuminating his close involvement during battles and political decisions. Following the preface, the first chapter details the author's entrance into military service at the outset of the revolution, highlighting his initial experiences, encounters with key figures like Desaix, and the changing dynamics within the military amidst the chaotic political landscape. It sets the tone for a narrative that reveals both personal and historical contexts interwoven with the grand narrative of Napoleon's rule. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
