⁂ 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.

its composer. High praise is due to the translator and editor

SIR MARTIN CONWAY'S NOTE.
Nearly half a century has passed since Mr. W. H. James Weale,
then resident at Bruges, began that long series of patient
investigations into the history of Netherlandish art which was
destined to earn so rich a harvest. When he began work Memlinc
was still called Hemling, and was fabled to have arrived at
Bruges as a wounded soldier. The van Eycks were little more than
legendary heroes. Roger Van der Weyden was little more than a
name. Most of the other great Netherlandish artists were either
wholly forgotten or named only in connection with paintings with
which they had nothing to do. Mr. Weale discovered Gerard David,
and disentangled his principal works from Memlinc's, with which
they were then confused.

Transcriber's Note:
1. Original spelling has been retained where it seems appropriate. Obvious typograhical errors have been corrected.
2. "Abbé (Henry Essex) Edgeworth de Firmont, who belonged to a junior branch of the Edgeworthstown family, was confessor to the Princess Elizabeth, and to Louis XVI on the scaffold, and after the restoration became chaplain to Louis XVIII."
There seems to be a discrepancy in dates here, as the restoration happened in 1814, but the Abbe died in 1807. The chaplain to Louis XVIII was actually Charles de Bouvens.
3. Hyphenated words have been retained as in the original.
4. Superscripts are represented using the carat character, e.g. D^r or ^{xx}.
