It seeks to capture both the monumental achievements and the consequential events that shaped this enigmatic figure.

Scott expresses his objective to provide an impartial account, acknowledging his previous experiences in summarizing key historical campaigns. He emphasizes that while he will honor Napoleon's military prowess and personal qualities, he is committed to a factual portrayal that does not shy away from discussing the darker aspects of his rule.
