Légende
The new French ministry: Count Napoleon Daru (Foreign Affairs), 1870. 'Count Napoleon Daru, the new Minister of Foreign Affairs, was a godson of the first Emperor and of the Empress Josephine...[His appointment] excites the more remark because that is a department which the Emperor has hitherto been considered to manage by himself. Count Daru is described as "a thorough Parliamentarian. Not brilliant, not even remarkably elevated, but invincibly honest, straightforward, upright, and incapable of coming to a compromise with his conscience, he is just one of the members of the new Cabinet who will not stay in it twenty-four hours beyond the moment when he sees it possible to count upon a really constitutional regime".' From "Illustrated London News", 1870.
