From the Preface.
The Empress Josephine was one of the
most remarkable of all the extraordinary char
acters who rose into conspicuous public posi-
tions in consequence Of the French Reyolu-
ton. Wonderful were the events of her life
With the kindness and most affectionate Of
human hearts, she united the sternest princi-
pies Of rectitude and comprehensive genius.
In political foresight, her superiority TO Ma
p0leOn is now universally recognized. Had
he listened to her admonitions, his empire
might have been averted 1t is worthy of
notice that this political foresight and ability
has been inherited by her descendants-two
of whom, Napoleon III, and Pedro II. respec-
lively the present Emperurs of France and
Of Brazil, are HwOng the a5est soyereigns
now reigning in the world.
The events Of Josephine's life, and remar-
kable traits Of character which she displayed
amidst the most amazing yicissitudes of for
tune, aff1rd not only an exceedingly interest
ing but highly instructive lesson 10 all who
read her biography. In this respect her ca
reer, taken as whole, may challenge conf
parison with that Of any other historical per-
sonages in history.
Josephine constantly looked to the glory Of
France and the fame of her husband as the
two most desirable objects. When Napole-
on desired to perpetuate his dynasty by
second marriage which might yield him q
male heir to his throne. Josephine nobly
sacrificed her own feelings to what she was
told might evantuate TO the advantage Of
France. In his adversely this true woman
forgot all bat their happy years of welded
love-rememhercd not that she had been re-
pudiated, but that he was unfortunate.
We have freely drawn upon various au-
thors, who have recorded anecdotes and traits
of Josephine, as related TO them, with the
tender regret of affection, which, too late, re-
cognized her full value, by Napoleon himself,
In his closing years, aud it is hoped that the
book will be found reliable as we'll as enter
Prising, Full of truth, yet 1t is the very Ro-
nance of Biography.
