  1.     Napoléon to Joseph Bonaparte, December 1805, Frédérick Masson, Napoléon et sa Famille (Paris: Ollendorff, 1919), v. 2, pp. 450–451; and Alan Schom, Napoléon Bonaparte (New York: HarperCollins, 1997), p. 339.

  2.     Louis Napoléon to M. Peauger, 3 février 1845, La Nouvelle Revue, v. 1, p. vi, n. 1, and Hippolyte Thirria, Napoléon Avant l’Empire (Paris: Plon, Nourrit, 1895).

  3.     Thirria, op. cit., v. I, pp. 1–2.

  4.     Thirria, Ibid., v. I, p. 2, and Le Moniteur Universel, 3 juin 1808. Prior to 1848 Prince Louis Napoléon was known as Prince Louis, and later as Napoléon. To avoid confusion, I shall refer to ex-king Jérôme Bonaparte’s son, Napoléon—who was also known as Prince Jérôme, or Plon-Plon, but never as Prince Napoléon.
