Napoleon actually crowned himself, although he had originally intended to be crowned by the pope. Malmesbury, Diaries, iv., 338.

With much regret we gave up an invitation we had accepted to go to Durdans to dine with Lord Rosebery. We must have felt very tired indeed to make so great a sacrifice, but we had to be up until one o'clock getting ready for the next day's journey; writing, packing, and attending to what we left behind us as well as what was in prospect.
