Excerpt from Napoleon III, and Italy, 1908, Vol. 1: A Brief Historical Survey
In the following pages the writer does not profess to do A more than offer to English readers, who have not previously given much thought to the subject, a chronological review of the connection of the Emperor Napoleon III with the Italian 'risorgimento.' The Emperor has been criticised and blamed, not always in measured terms, by writers on both sides dealing with the painful, if exciting, period of Revolution in Italy. It is the endeavour of this humble volume to shew that the Emperor of the French pursued a consistent and reasonable policy, although he may have been too Liberal for the Conservatives, and too Conservative for the Radicals.
The writer would desire to express his grateful thanks for advice and assistance, to Monsieur Emile Ollivier (Prime Minister to Napoleon III); to Colonel Sir Alexander Morgan, K.C.B.; to the Reverend J. J. Cumming, M. A.; to Mrs. Dickinson Edleston; to the Rev. Francis Joseph Bacchus, of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri; to Mr. Edward Sheepshanks; and to Monsieur Charles du Moulin-Browne. The writer is also indebted to the kind courtesy of His Eminence Cardinal Merry del Val, Secretary of State to His Holiness; to General Pelloux (Prime Minister to King Humbert); and to Monsignor Brandi, S. J., Editor of the "Civilta Cattolica," for direction as to Italian works on the period; and, above all, to Monsieur Franceschini Pietri, Private Secretary to Napoleon III, and now of the Household of Her Imperial Majesty, for his great kindness in sparing time to give a correcting glance at some of the proof sheets of this little volume.
