Excerpt from A Continuation of Remarks on the Character of Napoleon Bonaparte, Occasioned by the Publication of Scott's Life of Napoleon The passion for power is one Of the most universal, nor is it to be regarded as a crime in all its forms. Sweeping censures on a natural sentiment cast blame On the Creator. This prin ciple shows itself in the very dawn of our existence. -the child never exults and rejoices more, than when it becomes conscious of power by overcoming difficulties, or compassing new. Ends. All our desires and appetites lend aid and energy to this passion, for all find increase of gratification, in proportion to our in crease Of power. We ought to add, that this principle is fed from nobler sources. Power is a chief element of all the com manding qualities of our nature. It enters into all the higher virtues; such as magnanimity, fortitude, constancy. It enters into intellectual eminence. It is power of thought and utterance which immortalizes the products of genius. Is it strange that an attribute, through whichall our passions reach their objects, and which characterises whatever is great or admirable in man, should awaken intense desire, and be sought as one of the'chief goods of life?
