FROM THE PREFACE.
The Empress Josephine was one Of the most
remarkable Of all the extraordinary charac-
ters who rose into conspicuous public posi-.
tions in consequence Of the French Revolution.
Wonderful were the events Of her life. With
the kndest and most afIectionate of human
hearts she united the sternest principles Of
reotitude and a comprehensive genius.
In political foresight, her superiority to Ma.
poleOn is now universally recognized. Had he
listened 10 her Rdmoniticns, tile overthrow of
his empire might have been averted. II IL
worthy Of notice that this political foresight
and ability has been Inherited by her descend.
ANTS Two OF whom, Napoleon llI and Pedro
