Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Empress Josephine, Vol. 3 of 3: With Anecdotes of the Courts of Navarre and Malmaison Being at a distance from Malmaison at the fatal period of her majesty's death, I trusted to the report made to me by a friend, who giving way to the poignancy of grief, was thereby pre vented from calmly beholding what passed before her, and readily believed every circumstance cal culated to heighten her regret. My friend will not have been sufficiently on her guard against the no less atrocious than absurd reports circu lated at the time; and she accordingly related what she supposed to be true, rather than what had come under her personal observation. Be this as it may, it is never too late to acknowledge an error; Madame will no doubt retract it, when she peruses the above statement.
