Excerpt from The Life of the Empress Josephine, First Wife of Napoleon

In offering another biography of Josephine to the admirers of that brilliant woman, it was the design of both the Author and Publishers, to furnish in a more popular form than any similar work in print, an impartial delineation of her character, and a general view of the events upon the field of history across which she made a sad and brilliant transit. A strictly original work is not claimed, as no access could be had to manuscripts of the departed, or to the archives of France. For the correspondence, we are mainly indebted to Memes; and have referred for various interesting facts, to Bourrienne, Hazlitt, Von Rotteck, Scott, Alison, &c.
