Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life, Exile, and Conversations, of the Emperor Napoleon, Vol. 2: With Portraits and Numerous Other Embellishments Island of Elba was not acquiesced in, that every one did not perceive that my reign was desirable and necessary for the balance and repose of Europe! But kings and people both feared me; they were wrong, and may pay dearly for it. I returned a new man; they could not believe it; they could not imagine that a man might have sufficient strength of mind to alter his character, or to bend to the power of circumstances. I had, however, given proofs of this, and some pledges to the same effect. Who is ignorant that I am not a man for half measures? I should have been as sincerely the monarch of the constitution and of peace, as I had been of abso lute sway and great enterprises.
