About This Item
(London, George Allen, 1912). Authorised Translation from the Norwegian by E. M. Cope. Original red cloth, upper board slightly buckled, stained, and worn, pp. xvi + 316, frontispiece portrait, plates. Owner's name on the front free endpaper, some foxing. Fair. Preface: 'Napoleon's son was not only King of Rome; from 23rd June to 3rd July 1815 he was Emperor of France. He was Prince of Parma and Duke of Reichstadt; he was also called "Le Fils de l'Homme," and "L' Aiglon." The story of the young French eagle who, mentally and bodily, came to grief in the Imperial castle of Vienna, has been touched up in many ways, for, as he was rarely seen but from a distance, it was easy to be mistaken in him, libellous reports were spread, and his actions misrepresented enough, to make him an object of hatred. I have tried to show him as he was with his friend, a pure and gifted youth, who promised to become a worthy son of a great father.' .
