ABOUT THE AUTHOR Louis ClaudeFrédéric Masson (1847 -1923) was a French historian and academician best known for his books on Napoleon.In Napoléon inconnu (1895), Masson, together with Guido Biagi, brought out the unpublished writings (1786-1793) of the future emperor. These were notes, extracts from historical, philosophical and literary books, and personal reflections in which one can watch the growth of the ideas later carried out by the emperor with modifications necessitated by the force of circumstances and his own genius.
