Note 671 — Chapter XIX · PRESBYTERIAN MINISTERS DEEP IN TREASON—PLOT AND COUNTER-PLOT
Reading edition
Napoleon's marshals were rich men. The salary of a marshal was 1,600l. a year; but their emoluments were much increased by allowances made by Napoleon. Berthier had in addition 400l. a month as a major-general, and further received from his generous master 50,000l. every year.
