Summary:

"Napoléon: La dernière phase" by Earl of Archibald Philip Primrose Rosebery is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The text delves into the complexities of Napoleon Bonaparte's life, focusing particularly on his final years and the narratives surrounding them, as well as the interpretations that have emerged since his death. The opening of the work introduces the author's background and motivation for writing about Napoleon, reflecting on his lifelong fascination with the Emperor. It discusses the challenges faced in forming an accurate historical account of Napoleon, citing the myriad of previously published materials that often offer contradictory and biased perspectives. Rosebery emphasizes the evolution of historical inquiry into Napoleon's life as new documents have become available, expressing hope that a comprehensive and objective biography will eventually be crafted based on a deeper understanding of events and sources, particularly those detailing the period of Napoleon's banishment to Saint Helena.
