FAMILIAR GOSSIPING STYLE,
and so interspersed with anecdotes that the reader never wearies. She has put every thing in her book—great events and small.
- BATTLES AND BALLS,
- COURT INTRIGUES AND BOUDOIR GOSSIP,
- TREATIES AND FLIRTATIONS,

Opinions of the Press.
“These anecdotes of Napoleon are the best yet given to the world, because the most intimate and familiar.”—London Literary Gazette.
“We consider the performance now before us as more authentic and amusing than any other of its kind.”—London Quarterly Review.
“Every thing relating to Napoleon is eagerly sought for and read in this country as well as in Europe, and this work, with its extraordinary attractions, will not fail to command a wide circulation. Madame Junot possessed qualifications for writing a semi-domestic history of the great Corsican which no other person, male or female, could command.”—Life Illustrated. [[324]]
