FROM THE PREFACE.
The Empress JOSEF hine was enc of The most
remarkable OF all the extraordinary characters
who rose into conspicuous public positions in
consequence of the French Revolution. Won
derful are the events of her life. With the kind
est and most atfectionate of human hearts she
united the sternest principles Of rectitude, and
comprehensive genius. no. .-...- .......-
In political foresight, her superiority to Napo>
leon is now universally recognized Had he
listened to her sdmoEitiors, the fall Of III, EN-
plre might have been averted. 1t s worthy of
notice that this political foresight and ability has
been inherited by her descendants, two of whom
Napoleon III. and Pedro III. respectively the
present emperors of France and Brazil, are
among the ablest sovcreigns now reigning in
world. ..-.
The events of Josephine's life. and remarkable
traits of character which she displayed amidst
the most amazing vicissitudes of fortune, afford
not only an exceeding interesting but a highly
instructive lesson to all who read her biography
In this respect her career, taken as O whole, may
challenge comparison with that of any other his
torIcal personages in history.
Josedhne constantly looked to the glory OF
France and the fame of her husband as the two
most desirable objects When Napoleon desired
to perpetuate his dynasty by second marriage
which might yield him a male heir to his throne,
Josephine nobly sacrificed her own feelings TO
what she was told might eventuate to the advan-
tage OF France. In bis adversely this true VIC.
man forgot all but their happy years of welded
love-remembered not that SHE had been repu-
dated, but that he was unfortunate. Fr.|s
