Historical Note

Elizabeth (Betsy) Patterson Bonaparte (1785-1879), daughter of Baltimore, Md merchant William Patterson, married Jerome Bonaparte (1784-1860), brother of French emperor Napoleon I, on Christmas eve of 1803. The marriage was annulled by Napoleon's decree in 1806, while Jerome returned to Europe and remarried according to his brother's wishes. Betsy and Jerome's only child, Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, was raised by his mother and her family, graduated from Harvard University, and married Susan May Williams in 1829.

Scope and Content

The Bonaparte Book Collection consists of 13 boxes of 384 volumes that were originally part of the personal libraries of Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte, her son Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, and other members of the Bonaparte family. Many contain autographs and/or annotations of both. There are also autographs of Susan May Williams, Jerome Bonaparte’s wife, and their son Charles Joseph Bonaparte.

Books are numbered and arranged alphabetically by author or publisher. Information in the “Autographs and Annotations; notes” column in the container list below was taken from index cards created sometime after the bulk of the collection was donated. These cards are located in Box 1. Index cards for an additional 51 books that, as of October 2013, cannot be located can also be found in Box 1. Two of the volumes in the collection, Memories de Frederique Sophie Wilhelmine…Soeur de Frederic-Le-Grand: Ecrits de sa Main, by Frederique Sophie Wilhelmine were donated to the Historical Society in 2009.
