"Histoire du Consulat et de l'Empire" by Adolphe Thiers is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume, part of a larger series, focuses on the period of the French Consulate and the Napoleonic Empire, exploring the political, military, and social contexts of the time. The narrative delves into significant events surrounding the birth of Napoleon's son, the King of Rome, while also addressing the broader tensions with Russia and the challenges faced by Napoleon in maintaining his empire amidst crises in commerce, religion, and military affairs. The opening of the work discusses the birth of Napoleon's heir on March 20, 1811, heralding a moment of joy amid growing unrest in France. Despite the birth being celebrated, the narrative reveals a nation plagued by fears of war, economic downturns, and religious conflicts. The text introduces various political maneuvers, particularly Napoleon's attempts to convene a council to manage church affairs, illustrating his strategy to mitigate dissent and maintain control over the clergy. This section sets the stage for an intricate exploration of the interplay between personal ambitions and overarching historical forces during a tumultuous period in French history.
