The likely topic of the book revolves around the daily life, interactions, and various events that took place during Napoleon's rule, reflecting both the grandeur and intimate moments of his existence. In this volume, Wairy recounts several notable events that occurred around the turn of the new year, including visits to theaters and discussions about art and architecture. He describes the Emperor's impressions of various public works and the cultural activities that took place at court, such as the visits to the studio of painter Jacques-Louis David and the significant attention given to the result of these artistic endeavors. Additionally, Wairy provides vivid anecdotes, such as Napoleon’s amusing attempts to attend masked balls incognito and his interactions with other European royals, offering readers a glimpse into the complexities of royal life, personal relationships, and the political undercurrents of the time.
