A CHILD OF FRANCE

“The Map of Europe has to be redrawn. On the Continent there are only two great powers, France and Russia. Allied with England, who rules the sea, our three powers would dominate the world.” 1

—AUGUSTE DE MORNY TO COUNT KISSELEFF, SPRING 1856

“I shall see to it that he is raised with the understanding that

nations must not be isolated entities, that the peace of Europe

depends on our mutual prosperity.” 2

—LOUIS NAPOLÉON SPEAKING OF HIS NEWLY BORN SON, MARCH 1856
