Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Court of the Empress Josephine All your happiness Subject to instability In a moment falls to the ground, And as it has the brilliancy of glass It also has its fragility. We shall evoke the memory of the dead to revive this vanished court, and we shall consult, one after another, .the persons who were eye-witnesses of these short-lived wonders. A prefect of the palace, M. De Bausset, wrote: When I recall the memorable times of which I have just given a faint idea, I feel, after so many years, as if I had been taking part in the gorgeous scenes of the Arabian Tales or of the Thousand and One Nights. The magic picture of all those splendors and glories has disappeared, and with it all the prestige of ambition and power. One of the ladies of the palace of the Empress Josephine, Madame de Remusat, has expressed the same thought I seem to be recalling a dream, but a dream re sembling an Oriental tale, when I describe the lavish luxury of that period, the disputes for precedence, the claims of rank, the demands of every one. Yes, in all that there was something dreamlike, and the actors in that fairy spectacle which is called the Empire, that great show piece, with its scenery, now brilliant, now terrible, but ever changing, must have been even more astonished than the spectators. Aix la-chapelle and the court of Charlemagne, the castle of Fontainebleau and the Pope, Notre Dame and the coronation, the Champ de Mars and the distribu tion of eagles, the Cathedral of Milan and the Iron Crown, Genoa the superb and its naval festival, Austerlitz and the three emperors, -what a setting! What accessories! What personages! The peal of organs, the intoning of priests, the applause of themultitude and of the soldiers, the groans of the dying, the trumpet call, the roll of the drum, ball music, military bands, the cannon's roar, were the joyful and mournful harmonies heard while the play went on. What we shall study amid this tumult and agitation is one woman. We have already stu'died her as the Viscountess of Beauharnais, as Citizeness Bonaparte, and as the wife of the First Consul. We shall now study her in her new part, that of Empress. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Empress Josephine, Vol. 3 of 3: With Anecdotes of the Courts of Navarre and Malmaison Being at a distance from Malmaison at the fatal period of her majesty's death, I trusted to the report made to me by a friend, who giving way to the poignancy of grief, was thereby pre vented from calmly beholding what passed before her, and readily believed every circumstance cal culated to heighten her regret. My friend will not have been sufficiently on her guard against the no less atrocious than absurd reports circu lated at the time; and she accordingly related what she supposed to be true, rather than what had come under her personal observation. Be this as it may, it is never too late to acknowledge an error; Madame will no doubt retract it, when she peruses the above statement.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Josephine: Empress and Queen The memory of Josephine is so closely associated with those five years of her reign as Empress, when she played her part, appeared before the people and held her Court, that she too seems outside of the time-limit and gains by being perennial. She has left marks of her transitory pre sence in Paris, so many, so lasting, and so deep, that we fail to realize that she passed any part of those five years elsewhere than in the capital itself, with the brief interruptions of occasional visits to saint-cloud and Malmaison.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Secret Memoirs, Vol. 1: Courts of Empress Joseph Those persons who were not acquainted with the Empress Josephine will find my account of her in some degree exaggerated; those, on the contrary, who have been attached to her household, will very Justly observe that I have kept within the truth. To form a proper estimate of her worth would require a pre v10us knowledge of the many traits of goodness which have so much endeared her memory. She took so much pains to conceal her acts of benevolence that the greater part are still buried in oblivion. Many of those upon whom she conferred a service have for gotten what the usurper's wife had done for them! Her conduct towards me on all occasions was so amiable and considerate that it claims my unbounded gratitude. In my anxiety to fulfil so sacred an obli gation, and in the hope of adding some colours to her portrait, I yield to the wishes of my friends.
