An article from the Troy NY Daily Whig, July 1870: "That's a very probable story which the London Telegraph prints that Napoleon confessed to its correspondent he should be obliged to lead France to war to save the reins of power from slipping out of his hands. The Emperor doubtless feels all this, but he isn't such a fool as to say so."
July 1870: Just a couple of months before wildly miscalculating what turned into the Franco-Prussian war. Presented for no particular reason.
