Excerpt from Napoleon: A Play in Four Acts In the development of the play, I have availed myself as little as possible of "poetic license." The scenes occur, without exception, exactly in the order, and at the time and place assigned to them in History. With the exception of Babette, all of the characters are historical personages; for even Imperator, the shade of Charlemagne, was seen on more than one occasion by Napoleon - in his dreams. His faith in the entire accountability of such appearances is undisputed, and he has told us that the impressions made upon his mind by vivid presentations of dead men, and other unsubstantial fancies of his brain, had much to do in shaping his career and fostering his views on Destiny. Just before the battle of Arcole, Napoleon saw Josephine's spirit distinctly, says Saint-Amand. Beyond the necessary grouping of the dialogues and incidents within the practicable limits of stage scenes, I feel that I have not done History much violence.
