It is more than forty years since the sun set upon the ruin of the third Empire, and the fact that this baby has been born may not seem strikingly important. The child is not even in the direct line of the great Napoleon but of his younger brother Jerome: Nevertheless the birth of the child will be noted in all the chancelleries of Europe, for the baby is the acknowledged head of the Bonapartes, and that is an important fact.
