If you’ve read, or plan to read, Walter Bosley’s The Esoteric Napoleon … Richard Whately’s Historic Doubts Relative to Napoleon Bonaparte would be a wonderful companion volume. A copy can be found gratis in archive.org within a collection made by Henry Morley titled Famous Pamphlets (2nd ed.), London: George Routledge & Sons, 1890. There have been many editions of Historic Doubts with the 14th. London edition being the last to have Whately’s corrections and revisions. There is a recent (1985) edition edited by Ralph S. Pomeroy from Berkeley and London: Scolar Press. It is a complete reprint of Historic Doubts as Whately intended. Enjoy reading Bosley and Whately!

The Esoteric Napoleon, is on deck in my reading queue. Thanks for the heads up.
… Whately is well worth the expenditure of some precious study time. A pretty much (unfortunately) forgotten figure. If you find him valuable you might also want to check out his comments on the Laws of Evidence in two of his other works … The Elements of Logic and The Elements of Rhetoric. I hope you enjoy reading him. These two titles are also, I believe, available gratis in archive.org
