To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. . You treat a young wife as you would command a regiment. Distrust the people by whom you are surrounded ; they are nobles. . . . You have the best and most virtuous of wives, and you render her miserable. Allow her to dance as much as she likes, it is in keeping with her age. I have a wife who is forty years of age ; from the field of battle I write to her to go to balls, and you wish a young woman of twenty to live in a cloister, or like a nurse always washing her children Render the mother... of your children happy. You have only one way of doing so, by showing her esteem and confidence. Unfortunately you have a wife who is too virtuous : if you had a coquette she would lead you by the nose. But you have a proud wife, who is offended and grieved at the mere idea that you can have a bad opinion of her. You should have had a wife like some of those whom I know in Paris. She would have played you false, and you would have been at her feet. ... « Napoleon." At the moment that Napoleon wrote this delectable epistle he was living in adultery himself, and, as we have seen, rendering his own wife (poor Hortense's mother) miserable.
