Tulard, 963: "Of first order for Bonaparte's youth, but only for this period. Doesn't he say he admires the young officer and despises the Emperor? These very detailed memoirs on all the campaigns of the Duke of Ragusa therefore call for many reservations, not only because of the late nature of their drafting but also because of their desire to constantly present the author in a favourable light compared to Napoleon. This plea was refuted by Laurent de l'Ardèche in 1857" Ex-libris of Baron Charles d'Huart. Ex-libris of Edward and Gertrude Blount.
