 PREFACE
 
 “But
be
not
afraid
of
greatness:
some
men
are
born
great,
some
 achieve
greatness,
and
some
have
greatness
thrust
upon
them.”
 (William
Shakespeare:
Twelfth
Night)
 
 And
one
man
was
the
product
of
all
three.
 
 Napoleon
Bonaparte
was
both
a
man
of
his
times
and
yet
one
who
rose
above
the
 circumstances
that
prevailed
around
him.
Compared
to
the
other
rulers
of
his
 day
he
was
in
a
league
of
his
own
–
the
only
one
who
promoted
careers
open
to
 talent,
the
only
one
really
open
to
the
new
ways
of
the
Enlightenment.
The
fact
 he
took
177
scientists
and
experts
with
him
to
Egypt
proves
that
he
was
more
 than
just
another
conqueror.
Only
a
man
with
a
mind
like
Napoleon,
as
he
stood
 next
to
the
Great
Pyramid
of
Cheops
in
1798,
would
speculate
that
it
contained
 enough
stone
to
build
a
wall
around
the
whole
of
France.
 


Napoleon
was
born
with
a
phenomenal
memory,
one
of
the
greatest
of
all
time,
 and
he
possessed
an
incredible
ability
to
concentrate
on
the
task
in
hand.
His
 capacity
to
work
astounded
his
ministers.
He
had
visions
beyond
the
ken
of
his
 contemporaries
and
the
willpower
and
sheer
application
to
make
those
visions
 come
alive.
As
William
Hazlitt
said
in
his
essay
On
the
Disadvantages
of
 Intellectual
Superiority:
“The
chief
disadvantage
of
knowing
more
and
seeing
 farther
than
others,
is
not
to
be
generally
understood.
