Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Elizabeth, Empress of Austria: A Memoir
Hen I undertook to write a memoir of the late Empress of Austria, I was fully aware of the great difficulties I should encounter, especially as the material I had collected from various quarters was enormous, and I felt it to be my duty to sift it thoroughly and to select only such parts as I could myself believe to be authentic. I have personally had the happiness of meeting the illustrious lady who is the subject of my sketch; I have seen her on many occasions and followed with interest the vicissitudes of her life for the last thirty years; I have often had occasion to write about her, and have also had the privilege of knowing some of those who were in her entourage, and who, from time to time, have given me news, anecdotes, and reminiscences of the woman they loved with all their heart and soul. I am enabled to give some photographs from life.
