Question

Q-2. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. 1x 8

I have said this much because it is my wish that the principles which have guided me

in the composition of these memoirs may be understood. I am aware that they will

not please every readers: that is a success to which I cannot pretend. Some merit,

however, may be allowed me on account of the labour I have undergone. It has

neither been of slight nor an agreeable kind. I made it a rule to read everything that

has been written respecting Napoleon, and I have had to decipher many of his

autographed documents, though no longer so familiar with his scrawl as formerly. I

say decipher, because a real cipher might often be much more readily understood

than the handwriting of Napoleon. My own notes, too, which were often very hastily

made, in the hand I wrote in my youth, have sometimes also much embarrassed me.My long and intimate connection with Bonaparte from boyhood, my close relation

with him when he was General Consul and Emperor, enabled me to see and

appreciate all that was projected and all that was done during that considerable and

momentous period of time. I not only had the opportunity of being present at the

conception and execution of the extraordinary deeds of one of the ablest men nature

ever formed, but,notwithstanding an almost unceasing application to business. I

found means to employ the few moments of leisure which the truth could otherwise

with difficulty be ascertained; and more particularly in collection those ideas, often

profound, brilliant, and striking, but always remarkable, to which Bonaparte gave

expression in the overflowing frankness of confidential intimacy. The knowledge that I

possessed much important information has exposed me to many inquiries, and

wherever I have resided since my retirement from public affairs, much of my time has

been spent in replying to questions. The wish to be acquainted with the most minute

details of the life of a famous man is very natural; and the observation on my replies

by those who heard them always was. “You should publish memoirs!”
