N2  - "Recollections of the Private Life of Napoleon — Volume 07" by Louis Constant Wairy is a historical account written during the late 19th century. This volume provides a personal perspective on the life and times of Napoleon Bonaparte as seen through the eyes of his premier valet de chambre, Constant. The book chronicles various events, including the Emperor's military campaigns, intimate moments with the Empress, and insights into the workings of the Imperial household, all while capturing the atmosphere of the era.  The opening of this work opens with an account of Napoleon's departure from Saint-Cloud to Bayonne, emphasizing the sorrowful farewell between him and the Empress. As they part, Constant reflects on the Emperor's preparations for the journey and his deep affection for his wife, who expresses grave concerns about the Emperor's safety in Spain. The narrative swiftly transitions to the military environment as Napoleon arrives at the French army's base in Spain, where anticipation and anxiousness pervade the troops. Constant's detailed observations offer a poignant glimpse into both the personal affections and strategies of Napoleon, setting the stage for the trials and tribulations that are to follow.
