Note 104 — Chapter LVI
Reading edition
"Napoleon had expressed a wish that the Emperor of Austria, several kings, and a crowd of princes, should meet him at Dresden: his desire was fulfilled; all thronged to meet him; some induced by hope, others prompted by fear; for himself, his motives were to feel his power, to exhibit it, and enjoy it."—Count Philip de Ségur, Hist. de Napoleon, et de la Grande Armée, en 1812, tom. i., p. 89.
