The Great Napoleon's Mother. E-book. Formato PDF Clara Tschudi - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
N o apology can be needed on the part of either author or translator for bringing before the public a sketch of the life of Letitia Bonaparte, whose chequered career is so deeply interesting, and yet so little known. It commends itself to the study of women of all nations and of every cast of thought, while an insight into the character of the mother of a remarkable man, whatever our personal, political, or patriotic feeling may be, ought at the least to awaken our curiosity.
Ludwig the Second, King of Bavaria. E-book. Formato PDF Clara Tschudi - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
Both the Crown Prince and his brother were unusually good-looking, and it was a brilliant sight when the popular and beautiful Queen walked about the streets of Munich, with her handsome boys beside her. Maternal joy and pride shone from her eyes, and the glance of the people was directed with genuine admiration on her and her children. Otto was the one who most resembled his mother. Being, moreover, lighthearted and accessible, he was also the one to whom the prize of beauty was awarded by popular Opinion. Ludwig's beauty was of a more uncommon and intellectual type, a note worthy feature of his face being the large, brilliant, and dark-blue eye. The boys were always dressed each in his particular colour, which the Queen herself had chosen. Otto in red, and Ludwig in blue — the national colours of Bavaria. Not only were Ludwig's clothes blue in tint, but also, as far as was possible, his various other small possessions and necessities; such, for instance, as the binding of his books, his draw ing portfolios, and his volumes of music This hue always continued to be his favourite colour.

The sketch of the chequered career of Elizabeth of austria-hungary cannot fail to interest, and to the many who know but little beyond the details of her tragic death, the accidents of heredity, environment and sorrow, so accurately treated by the authoress, must prove acceptable. It is but the foreground of human life we can examine with any exactness, and even a pro founder study of the empress-queen than this claims to be, would fail to give more than an outline of events with which she was connected.
