Author Description

Excerpt from Letters of "an Englishman" On Louis Napoleon, the Empire, and the Coup D'état I publish these Letters for these reasons. They are calculated, I believe, - they are meant, I know, - to elevate the tone of public life; to fortify the sense of public honour; to brand a paltry and a huckstering statecraft; to blow up political quackery and shams.
