Description
Excerpt from Augusta, Empress of Germany
Her connection with the Red Cross Society is perhaps not generally known in this country, nor the substantial encourage ment she gave to the scheme when first introduced in 1864. She excelled as an organiser, and the number and wide scope of her charities testify at the present day to her capabilities, as well as to her real tenderness of heart.
Her tastes were those of peace and intel lectual development, which were simply unintelligible to the Emperor, and in the total absence of mutual interests, the Imperial couple spent their fifty years of married life a thousand miles apart.
The fact that several of the characters and incidents in this slight sketch are within the recollection of many may give it an additional interest, and will, I trust, afford the genuine pleasure to the public, that it has provided for the translator.
