Demy 8vo. 12s. 6d. net. ⁂ “As long as human nature delights in the spectacle of dramatic vicissitudes, the story of the rise and fall of the House of Bonaparte will retain its fascination. The story of Napoleon himself, of course, is the story of genius seeing its opportunity and forcing its way; and its personal interest is somewhat obscured by its historical significance. The story of the various members of his family belongs to a different category. Their rise in life, due to his genius, which none of them shared, and his strong sense of the obligations of blood relationship, was as fortuitous as if they had suddenly “come into money” through the demise of a long-lost uncle in America; and the interest which one feels in them is largely the interest which one always feels in the behaviour of a _parvenu_ in a station to which he has been promoted through no merit of his own. Some of them behaved decorously, others eccentrically and extravagantly; and it is the latter group which is the most diverting to read about. Jerome, for that reason, makes a more powerful appeal to our imagination than Joseph, and Pauline possesses a magnetic attraction denied to Madam Mere; and Pauline’s life is here related admirably by M. Fleischmann. She was more than frivolous, her “affaires” were countless. M. Fleischmann has told them admirably with a sparkling wit and a true feeling for drama.”—_Times._ NAPOLEON’S LAST CAMPAIGN IN GERMANY. By F. LORAINE PETRE.
