Jlu 9o Cuj .INTRODUCTION I PURPOSE to treat of Napoleon as a theatregoer, as a critic and patron of the drama, and as a familiar of playwrights and players. I intend to show that he was himself a master a(5tor on important occasions and an artist in histrionic effec Sls. We have been entertained of late with chapters on the great mans campaigns and his costumes, his fads and his furniture, his hats and his boots, his witticisms and his women, his swords and his snufif-boxes, his manners and his maxims. I may be pardoned if I allow my pen to ramble aroimd the opera-glass of Napoleon, merely to indicate what impressions he received through its lenses, and I may be permitted to turn that opera-glass upon himself in order to see how he was affeifted by these impressions. The experiment is novel and may prove interesting.
