Not illustrated. 1894 edition. Excerpt: ... IV. JEWELS. A ORDERS BELONGING TO HIS MAJESTY. 1. Legion of Honour. No. 1. A grand collar of the Legion of Honour. In 1821 this was in the charge of the Count de Turenne. The Emperor bequeathed it to his son. (See below, No. 2.) No. 2. Two grand decorations of the Legion of Honour. One at St. Helena. Inventory of 1821. The Emperor bequeathed it to his son. On June 24th, 1843, King Joseph charged M. Sapey, member of the Chamber of Deputies, to deposit in his name on the tomb of the Emperor the grand collar of the Legion of Honour, and two other objects which he wore habitually. On July 14th, 1843, M. Sapey forwarded to General Petit, Commandant of the Hotel des Invalides, in the absence of Marshal Oudinot, Duc de Reggio, the grand collar, the grand cordon, and the badge of the Legion, which Napoleon was in the habit of wearing. The badge usually embroidered on his uniform, so that this was probably a chased badge. These three objects were deposited in the Cella. The Emperor, in his coffin, was dressed in the grand cordon of the Legion. It was, perhaps, the second of the two grand decorations. The badge of the Legion cost 62 fr., supplied by the tailor. The cross, grand model, 150 fr., supplied by Biennais. No. 3. Two crosses for state dress. Lost in Russia. (Inventory of 1814.) No. 4. Twelve small crosses. No. 5.
