Excerpt from The Life of an Empress: Eugenie De Montijo These final pages are written as a necessary conclusion to our trilogy of the women of the Second Empire. Having sketched the pictures of Court and Society with a pen as discreet as possible, although by some it has been termed a frivolous pen, we had to determine in a wider manner the historical bearing of an important personality. Through circumstances, more than by her own will, she was the leading figure among the women of that Court and of that Society, and her position as such was naturally due to her sovereign rank, her influence for good or evil, and the extraordinary series of fateful events in which she took part. This is an opportune time for recalling the career of such a personality, because we have not yet reached the period when gossip and reiterations of a commonplace nature shall run their free course unfettered by the hand of fate. We dispose of such information and authentic data as enable us to undertake our task without fear. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Empress Eugenie in Exile During the ten months in 1886 that it was my good fortune to spend at Farnborough in the household of the Empress Eugenie ('good for tune which I owe to an old family friend, who was intimate with the Empress), I kept up my life-long habit, when absent from home, of daily correspondence with my family. Hence these pages, culled from letters and diaries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
