king of See also:Westphalia, then See also:governor of the Invalides, on whose See also:commission he wrote Memoires pour servir a l'histoire de la campagne de 181-2 en Russie (1852). Subsequently he published Memoires du roi See also:Joseph (1853–1855), and, as a sequel, Histoire See also:des negotiations diplomatiques relatives aux traites de Morfontaine, de See also:Luneville et d'See also:Amiens, together with the unpublished See also:correspondence of the See also:emperor See also:Napoleon I. with See also:Cardinal See also:Fesch (1855–1856). From papers in the See also:possession of the imperial See also:family he compiled Memoires du prince See also:Eugene (1858–186o) and Refutation des memoires du duc de Raguse (1857), See also:part of which was inserted by authority at the end of See also:volume ix. of the Memoires. He was attache to Jerome's son, Prince Napoleon, during the See also:Crimean See also:War, and wrote a Precis historique des operations militaires en Orient, de See also:mars 1854 d octobre 1855 (1857), which was completed many years later by a volume entitled La Crimee et Sebastopol de 1853 d 1856, documents intimes et inedits, followed by the See also:complete See also:list of the French See also:officers killed or wounded in that war (1892). He was also employed by Prince Napoleon on the Correspondance of Napoleon I., and afterwards published certain letters, purposely omitted there, in the Revue historique. These documents, subsequently collected in See also:Les Rois freres de Napoleon (1883), as well as the See also:Journal de la reine See also:Catherine de Westphalie (1893), were edited with little care and are not entirely trustworthy, but their publication threw much See also:light on Napoleon I. and his entourage, His Souvenirs d'un officier du 2e Zouaves, and Les Dessous du coup d'etat (1891), contain many piquant anecdotes, but at times degenerate into See also:mere tittle-tattle. Ducasse was the author of some slight novels, and from the practice of this See also:form of literature he acquired that levity which appears even in his most serious See also:historical publications.
