as good a biographer of their hero. A book very nearly as good as
Southey's "Life of Nelson."'--_Manchester Guardian._

of beautiful photogravures and finely-executed wood engravings,
constituting a complete pictorial chronicle of Napoleon I.'s personal
history from the days of his early childhood at Ajaccio to the date
of his second interment.'--_Daily Telegraph._
'Nearly all the illustrations are real contributions to
history.'--_Westminster Gazette._
