This charge is the charge of misconception or ignorance. It is true, he believed that his doctrines would prevail; he was sensitive to the opinions of others, nor was he "out of love with noble fame"; but his successes were fairly, manfully won. He had none of the common qualifications for popularity.
The power of the newly awakened experiences bore him away also, and he described no less vividly what he had suffered. Yes, indeed! He had not lacked great successes, far-reaching renown, high honours, and some degree of glory. But what a tale he not yet thirty now related!
Weary of this uncertainty, and the tergiversation of Austria, which was still under the influence of England, and feeling that the prolongation of such a state of things could only turn to his disadvantage, Bonaparte broke the armistice.
