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.

De Remusat we are given some insight into the feelings of Josephine at this anxious epoch. On the night before Morean's arrest Napoleon revealed to her his intention. He was unable to Sleep and walked up and down the room all night. Neither could Josephine Sleep after she had been told, and the marks of tears were plain upon her face next morning. Looking at her, Napoleon took her by the chin, lifted up her head, and said: Now, now Not every one has a good wife as I have. You are weeping, Josephine.

Download or read book The Life of the Empress Josephine written by P. C. Headley and published by Cgr Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-16 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born on the island of Martinique, the romantic Josephine found herself at the center of events that would forever change the world. In 1856, writer P.C. Headley released the thrilling biography of the famed Joséphine, Empress of the French from 1804-1810, famed romantic, and renowned patron of the arts. After her first husband, Alexandre de Beauharnais, met the guillotine in 1794, the beautiful widow with two children embarked on an unlikely romantic relationship with one of history's most notorious men. This restored edition of Headley's classic features: - Enlarged 7" x 10" pages for easy reading - Author's original page layouts - Classic weathered type font - New retro-style cover design Josephine was a model of character. Headley wrote her biography to make the study of her life more general, and to extend the admiration of her pure beauty in contrast to all the forms of corruption that humanity could present in a period of bloody Revolution. He felt that "The Empress was a greater personage than Napoleon in the elements of moral grandeur, and retained her sovereignty in the hearts of the people, while he ruled by the unrivaled splendor of his genius." "The name Josephine is invested with a romantic and mournful interest. From the quiet life of her island-home, she rose to the splendor of royalty which borrowed lustre from her virtues; then, heart-broken, found retirement where, with a meek resignation that contrasts beautifully with the untamed ambition of the illustrious exile of St. Helena, she lived till her death."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Empress Josephine, Vol. 2 Fewer persons went to the receptions of the Arch Treasurer Le Brun, who seemed to attach less im portance to these outward Observances, and lived quietly. But, although he had not the foibles of his colleague, he was also deficient in some of his qual ities. Cambaceres was a kind-hearted man; he re ceived petitions graciously, and, if he promised to sup port them, his word could be relied on. Le Brun's only care was to amass a fortune, which became con siderable. He was a selfish, cunning old man, who never did any good to anybody.

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.
