First sentence: IF the idea of all children, and of a few grown people, that to be a king is to be free, is to own a royal wand which brings all pleasant things, and to have nothing to do but to wave it, or even in extreme cases have it waved for you, and that ergo he who is a king need be nothing else-if this idea was shared by Prince Eugene de Beauharnais's little daughter Josephine in the nursery of the royal castle of Milan, or by the French soldier's child, afterward crowned Oscar I. of Sweden-never has it been more thoroughly confuted than by the Bernadottes, who have truly graced the Swedish throne since 1818.
