Excerpt from The Napoleon Gallery; Or Illustrations of the Life and Times of the Emperor of France: Engraved by Reveil, and Other Eminent Artists, From All the Most Celebrated Pictures, Etc, Produced in France During the Last Forty Years
This imposing ceremony was performed, on the 2ud of December, 1804, in the Cathedral of Notre Dame, in the midst of all that was splendid and illustrious in the capital of France. With a view to shew his power rather than to acknowledge the jurisdiction of the Pope, either temporal or spiritual, Napoleon summoned Pius VII. To be in attendance on the day of his inauguration at Paris. In compliance with this, the unresisting Pope left Rome on the 5th of November, and blessed the Emperor and Empress, and also consecrated the diadems. Napoleon, however, placed the crown on his own head and then on the head of Josephine, who received it kneeling on a cushion at the foot of the Altar steps. We are told that.
