Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoirs of Celebrated Women of All Countries
From this time her courage never failed. She is in my epi nion a most remarkable woman - perhaps the most remarkable I ever knew - for her courageous firmness in misfortune, her digni fied and admirable mildness in prosperity, and her resignation under the bitter affliction she has borne during the last eighteen years. For, knowing what she now suffers, I cannot at all compare this latter period with that during which she was only unfortunate. This is a different and more bitter trial; and if the accents of despair have sometimes been wrung from the lacerated bosom of Napoleon's mother, who among us can be surprised?
