Yet again, this was a case of large scale hybrid warfare: and Napoleon was not particularly good at it

Yet – as the degree to which the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars were fought out on a transcontinental scale makes clear – viewed in their entirety, these conflicts did not in fact represent a wholly new form of warfare. Rather they marked a continuation, on a notably bigger scale, of that combined fighting on land and sea which had been escalating in expense since the early 1700s. Yet again, this was a case of large scale hybrid warfare: and Napoleon was not particularly good at it.

The bit Napoleon is bad at, is maritime warfare of course.

On no account would he be a party to the crowning of an upstart usurper of the legitimist Bourbon throne

But would every cardinal have shown the same courage as he when summoned as Dean of the Sacred College by the dreaded Napoleon in 1804 to accompany Pius VII to Paris for his coronation? The Cardinal King, as he then was, refused to go. It was a bold stance for an old man of eighty to take, and it brought about a physical collapse. But he would not budge. Not for nothing was he a believer in the divine right of kings. On no account would he be a party to the crowning of an upstart usurper of the legitimist Bourbon throne.

When Napoleon's remains were returned to France in 1840, no fewer than fourteen bogus emperors were admitted into care

It is perhaps difficult now to understand the posthumous impact of the French Emperor - what Chateaubriand called the 'despotism of his memory' - or how far and for how long his shadow stretched across Europe. Sightings of him were reported, supposedly accompanied by an astonishing array of troops, across much of Europe for years after. A recent history of French psychiatric institutions reveals that when Napoleon's remains were returned to France in 1840, no fewer than fourteen bogus emperors were admitted into care; there had been others before that and would be more in the following decade.

This Man, an enemy to all Religion, an Assassin and Murderer and everything that is bad

The Ways of Providence are very Mysterious. That this Man [Napoleon], an enemy to all Religion, an Assassin and Murderer and everything that is bad should succeed in all his Enterprises in this extraordinary manner is beyond Conception. Besides his success must have so evidently a bad influence on the Moral World as to induce many to distrust the Providence of God and make them think that it will be to no purpose to cultivate Moral Goodness and Uprightness of Conduct. However I pray to God that this Year may yet unfold some matters which tend to forbode the downfall of this Wicked Usurper.
