New Beginning?

Outrageous! This is complete and total nonsense! I was put into prison! I can’t say that this is abnormal considering the time I live in. My friend Count Mere, was one of the accused, he is going to be executed. He just so happens to write a letter to me concerning his family, and requests me to take care of his family after his execution. This letter caused a frown within my political circle and I was arrested and imprisoned.

After I was released from prison, I made my decision to give up politics forever and focus on only medicine. I was a French physician so I was back at where I started out. After Robespierre died, everything was starting to go back on track. I was alive to witness Napoleon Bonaparte come to power. 

Napoleon was truly an amazing young man. He became consul of France in 1802 and became emperor on March 20^th, 1804. I noticed that France had become a good place under Napoleon. He established the Napoleonic code, which laid the administrative and judicial foundations for much of Western Europe including France. In other words, Napoleon issued a couple of laws that benefitted France a lot. I think these codes were much brilliant. The code forbids privileges upon birth, allowed freedom of religion, and government jobs go to the most qualified instead of to certain families. That’s not all Napoleon did. I was walking around one day, and I noticed that higher education and schools were proposed. Tax codes and a new Banque de France were established.  

After all that we’ve been through under Robespierre, I think it’s about time a change.
