Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Empresses of France In the course of extended researches into the history of France, I first became aware of the fact that neither in French nor in English does there exist any brief yet comprehensive work giving the lives of the Queens and Empresses. The lack of such a book having proved a great annoyance to me, I felt it would perchance assist other students were I to weave my copious notes into consecutive narratives which would also interest the general public. While the Queens of France are very numerous and often insignificant, the Empresses are three women of note, whose lives extend over more than a century. As their sayings and doings form an important part of the stirring history of their time, it has seemed best to give them a volume to themselves. Josephine, Marie Louise, and Eugenie are names which call to mind endless pageants and touching or dramatic scenes, which historians, novelists, poets, and playwrights have already used in their works, and will doubtless use again.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eugénie: Empress of the French Was it worth the doing? In these days, looking back over her career, all she can say is: I am the past. I am the distant horizon where exists a mirage, a shadow, a phantom, a living sorrow. I am an old woman, poor in everything that makes a woman rich. My husband, my son - that brave boy they are gone. My eyes no longer turn to the future. I live only in my youth. There is nothing for me but to wait. My dreary winter is nearly over. Poor Eugénie! That she still Clings to the hope of seeing a descendant of Napoleon on the throne of France is evidenced by a letter to an old soldier who recently appealed to her for help, In which she says: As her majesty admits that every old soldier of the empire has remained faithful to the sacred cause, to the imperial eagles, it is necessary so that her majesty may be assured of a devotion of which she or rather the legitimate heir to the throne - will perhaps have need sooner than one thinks, that she receives from u a letter in which she will find the expression ur unshaka devotion to the memory of Napoleon iic to the Imperial cause, as well as the exprésssjbtni your mistrust oi the present regime' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eugenie, Empress of the French: A Popular Sketch I am encouraged by the success which attended my translation of Marie Antoinette, by Clara Tschudi, to offer to the public a second monograph by the same gifted authoress, whose renown as a writer dates from its appearance in 1889, previously to which she had undertaken only a few short essays and biographies. Eugenie, Empress of the French met with an enthusiastic reception in Scandinavia, and has since been widely read in excellent translations both in Germany and Italy. At the request of the authoress, I have used the second edition of her work, and have ventured to append a few notes, taken from English newspapers, referring mainly to the Prince Imperial and Dr. Evans. Professor Kirkpatrick, of Edinburgh University, has a high opinion of Clara Tschudi as a writer, and has written to me: "Her Eugenie, which I read with great interest in the original, and reviewed favourably, seemed to me at the time well worthy of being translated into English."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Empress Eugenie Of some of the scenes comprising the last act, I was an insignificant spectator. One was the illusory French victory at Saarbrucken, when the boy Prince first saw the realities of war another, the day long combat round Sedan, described in these pages by the Emperor Napoleon himself. I owe this document to the good offices of M. Adrien Hebrard, Editor of the Temps. To M. Gaston Calmette, Editor of the Figaro, I am doubly indebted first, for his eloquent and couvin cing defence of the Empress Eugenie; and, next, for M. Lucien Alphonse Baudet's picture of the Empress in her Hampshire home - a romantic narrative, fascina ting alike by its poetical charm and its verisimilitude, and worthy of the distinguished name of its creator.

This book was released on 2017-05-26 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Queens of France, Vol. 1 of 2 Clovis was the first chief who bore the title of King of France; for although several of his pre decessors had acquired great advantage in their attacks upon the Romans, hitherto they had ulti mately been repulsed with such vigour that they were frequently obliged to re-cross the Rhine; and Clovis was the first who resided as sole conqueror in France. The trifling importance attached to the greater number of the first race of kings, the similarity of their names, and, above all, the continual division of their states, inevitably introduced a degree of confusion into their history. Prior to the entire subjugation of Gaul by the Franks under Clovis, four French chiefs had succes sively reigned over a part of the country as kings; but very little is known of them, France having been at that time shrouded in the mist of barbarism.

As a matter of fact, the celebrated singer was born on February 14, 1745, and it was not until some years after her birth that her parents removed to the Hotel de Ponthieu, Rue Bethisy, then known as the Rue des Fosses-Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois.
