ABSTRACT
First published in The True Sun, 8 November 1833, p. 3; see headnote above, pp. 229–30. Michel Ney, Duc d’Elchingen, Prince de la Moscova, (1769–1815) was one of Napoleon’s most famous marshals. He pledged his allegiance to the restored Bourbon monarchy when Napoleon abdicated in 1814, but when Napoleon returned in 1815, Ney rejoined him. Under the Bourbons, again restored, Ney was found guilty of treason and executed. The present memoir takes his story only up to 1805.
