Napoleon And His Parliaments
1800-1815
Reviewed by Max Sewell
This out-of-print work explains how the parliaments worked,
its evolution and deficiencies, and how Napoleon was able to use this
system to organize and stabilize French life, establish laws, and center
power in the hands of his person, and how he believed that this was
not only just, but a perfect expression of the will of the people.
