*«* Although much has been written concerning the Empress Josephine, we 

 know comparatively liltle about the veuve Beauharnais and the ciioyenne 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.

*^* "The greatest living Englishman" was the tribute oi his Continental 

 contemporaries to Sir. Joseph Banks. The author of his "Life" has, with some 

 enthusiasm, sketched the record of a man who for a period of half a century filled a 

 very prominent place in society, but whose name is almost forgotten by the present 

 generation.
