Excerpt from The Wife of General Bonaparte Josephine in her true colours, we now propose to paint her portrait. History is pitiless; it does not gloss over the faults and failings of those individuals whose deeds and lives it has to record. History is not like a tender mother whose love for her offspring causes her to forget their past shortcomings. No, history must record both good and evil, not so much in order to punish or glorify the dead, as to instruct future generations. Such is the rele of history, or rather of the historian. He is not permitted to consult his own opinions on the subject or person in question, to indulge in prejudices or give ear to party spirit.

Excerpt from The Wife of General Bonaparte My readers will not find the Josephine of the Napoleonic legend described in this work; they will find her as she really was. Although Napoleon, that is to say the man with mankind's failings and noble qualities and not the almost supernatural being of legendary fame, has but little to fear from the searching light of history, we cannot say the same of his companion. However, as we can account for many events in Napoleon's life by showing Josephine in her true colours, we now propose to paint her portrait. History is pitiless; it does not gloss over the faults and failings of those individuals whose deeds and lives it has to record. History is not like a tender mother whose love for her offspring causes her to forget their past shortcomings. No, history must record both good and evil, not so much in order to punish or glorify the dead, as to instruct future generations. Such is the rôle of history, or rather of the historian. He is not permitted to consult his own opinions on the subject or person in question, to indulge in prejudices or give ear to party-spirit.

Excerpt from The Empress Josephine, Napoleon's Enchantress: Hutchinson's Library of Standard Lives It would surely be impossible to find any passage in literature outside'these few lines from the early pen of Lafcadio Hearn in which a better suggestion is conveyed to us of the Josephine of romance, as opposed to the Josephine of history. And the Josephine of romance may be said to bear to the actual Josephine as we find her in history the same relation that the statue so lovingly described above bore to the real woman, the wife of the First Consul and the Emperor, who never appeared without her rouge and thick coating of powder, who spent at least three hours in her dressing-room every morning, and who felt so keenly the necessity, if not of suffering, at any rate of labouring hard, to be beautiful. Yet it may be that, just as the living woman was able to exercise upon those with whom she came in contact a fascination which no statue of her could inspire, so there is more absorbing interest in the true Josephine, seen as She existed from day to day, with her frivolity and her faults so little hidden, than in the merely lovely and benevolent Empress of legend. Whatever legend could do for the first wife of Napoleon Bonaparte, it could not invent for her a more curiously picturesque career than was hers in fact: on the con trary, in removing from its records so many of the actual incidents as not harmonising with the character which it was endeavouring to present, it removed also a great deal of the picturesqueness. On June 23, 1763, there was born at trois-ilets, Martinique, the eldest child Of joseph-gaspard Tascher de la Pagerie, retired lieutenant of marine artillery, and Of his wife, formerly rose-claire des Vergers de Sannois. To this child were given the names of marie-joseph Rose Marie from her father's mother, Joseph from her father, and Rose from her mother. The name of Josephine was unknown until she met the young General Bonaparte in 1796. In her girlhood, up to the time when she first sailed for France, she was generally called by the pet-name of Yeyette, which sounds like an infantile mispronunciation or a negro corruption.

Excerpt from The Wife of the First Consul Hortense de Beauharnais, a bright and merry girl, running, swift as Atalanta, in the garden; or in the theatre at the end of the gallery, playing Rosina in the Barber of Seville like a consummate actress. I am back in the consular court, which is still repub lican, full of charm, of vivacity, rich in youth, glory, and hope, with but little dread of the catastrophes hid in the dark future. Nine years pass, and what a change! Poor Jose phine, broken with grief, enters once more the house where not long before she had arrived in joy. Her dark presentiments have been realized. The woman to whom the conqueror of Italy used to write burn ing love-letters is now disgraced, disowned, and driven forever from the Tuileries. She has just drunk to the dregs the chalice of the bitterness of divorce which she had prayed to be spared. It is a cold, wet December night; the withered leaves lie about like dead illusions; the wind wails, and nature moans. The abode of happiness is become a Calvary. What a night the wretched woman passes in the room which she used to occupy with Napoleon! And when she wakes in the morning, what a sad eye she turns towards the trees which once shaded so much happi ness! In the course of the day Napoleon-comes to pay an icy visit to his divorced wife; he walks for a few moments with her in the park and leaves her without a kiss.

Excerpt from The Campaigns Napoleon Bonaparte of 1796-1797 He was assigned as Chief of Artillery of the Army of Italy, and the coast batteries from the Rhone to the Var. He remained with the Army of Italy until April, 1795, and planned operations by which that army advanced by successive steps from Nice to Savona. He went on leave in April, and during a reorganization of the army was placed on waiting orders. Having declined a brigade in the Army of the West he was, in September, 1795, attached to the War Department and assigned to that branch of the topographic department, which had charge of the prepara tion of plans of campaigns for the armies of the Alps and of Italy. While on this duty, on October 5th, he was selected by General Bar ras as his second in command of the Army of the Interior to defend the central government against the attacks of the sections of Paris. His dis positions for meeting the attack were so skillful that the sections were easily repulsed. When Barras gave up the command of the Army of the Interior to become a member of the Directory, General Bonaparte was made general of division Oct. 20, 1795, and appointed commander in chief of that army. On February 23rd he was assigned to the command of the Army of Italy because of his service to the government. In Paris, and because of the great strategic ability displayed in the memoirs he had prepared for the operations of the armies of the Alps and Italy.
