*;''Maximes et Pensées de Napoléon recueillies par J. L. Gaudy (Jeune)'' (1838):J.-L. Gaudy Jr was a former hatter who wanted the Cross of the [[Légion d'Honneur]].{{sfn|Robb|1994|p=317&ndash;318}} Balzac wrote this book with the aim of obtaining it for him.{{sfn|Robb|1994|p=317&ndash;318}}  The plan was that the book be dedicated to [[Louis-Philippe I]] and that the flattery of its apparent author would be rewarded.{{sfn|Robb|1994|p=317&ndash;318}}  It succeeded, with M. Gaudy being awarded the medal, and Balzac receiving [[French franc|FF]]4000.{{sfn|Robb|1994|p=317&ndash;318}}</p><p>Although Balzac had been jotting down the sayings of [[Napoléon I]] since the early 1830s, the book contained several things that Balzac had simply invented himself.{{sfn|Robb|1994|p=317&ndash;318}}  Gordon Robb observed that they "seemed surprisingly absolutist, even for Napoleon".{{sfn|Robb|1994|p=317&ndash;318}}  Unlike ''[[Napoléon's Military Maxims]]'', which is generally considered to be a legitimate collection of 78 of Napoléon's maxims, Balzac's collection contains over 500, and many of its war maxims are significantly different to those in any edition of the ''Military Maxims''.{{sfn|Chandler|2023|p=31}}</p><p>The book being popular over the years, a French-Canadian edition was published in particular in 1976, with an introduction by [[Jan Doat]] and a preface by [[Ben Weider]], which organized 525 maxims under 4 main entries; and suffixed Balzac's collection with Napoléon's ''Sur l'Angleterre''.{{sfn|Chandler|2023|p=31}}</p>
