⁂ Although much has been written concerning the Empress Josephine,
we know comparatively little about the _veuve_ Beauharnais and
the _citoyenne_ Bonaparte, whose inconsiderate conduct during
her husband’s absence caused him so much anguish. We are so
accustomed to consider Josephine as the innocent victim of a cold
and calculating tyrant who allowed nothing, neither human lives
nor natural affections, to stand in the way of his all-conquering
will, that this volume will come to us rather as a surprise. Modern
historians are over-fond of blaming Napoleon for having divorced
the companion of his early years; but after having read the above
work, the reader will be constrained to admire General Bonaparte’s
forbearance and will wonder how he ever came to allow her to play
the Queen at the Tuileries.
