_November 19, 1808._ _The Progress of the Emperor Napoleon._ Published by T. Tegg, 111 Cheapside.--The career of the Corsican is set forth pictorially in a progressive series of eight pictures. 'First, A ragged-headed Corsican peasant; second, Studying mischief at the Royal Military Academy at Paris; third, An humble ensign, in a Republican corps, requesting a situation in the British army; fourth, A determined atheistical Republican general ordering his men to fire on the Parisians volleys of grape-shot; fifth, A Turk at Grand Cairo; sixth, A runaway from Egypt; seventh, A devout Catholic; eighth, An Emperor on a "throne of iniquities," _O tempora, O mores!_' On the back of the imperial seat, on which the last step of Napoleon's progress leaves him, is posted a list of murders set down to the Corsican's account:--'Duke d'Enghien, prisoners at Jaffa, Palm, Captain Williams, Pichegru, Caton, Toussant, &c., &c.' AN ACADEMY FOR GROWN HORSEMEN, AND ANNALS OF HORSEMANSHIP. COMMUNICATED BY GEOFFREY GAMBADO, ESQ. _Riding Master of the Horse, and Grand Equerry to the Doge of Venice._ ILLUSTRATED WITH PLATES, DESIGNED BY H. BUNBURY, ETCHED BY T. ROWLANDSON. To turn and wind a fiery Pegasus, And witch the world with noble horsemanship.--SHAKESPEARE. [Illustration] GEOFFREY GAMBADO, ESQ. 'As I shall be as concise and explicit as possible in the valuable instructions and discoveries I am now about to communicate to the world, it will be the reader's own fault if he does not profitably benefit by them. When I have told him how to choose a horse, how to tackle him properly, in what sort of dress to ride him, how to ride him out, and, above all, how to ride him home again, if he is not a complete horseman in the course of ten or a dozen summers, I will be bold to foretell that neither the skill of Mr. Astley, nor the experience of Mr. John Gilpin, will ever make him one. 'Nil desperandum, me duce Teucro. 'DIRECTIONS FOR THE ROAD. 'In riding the road, observe in passing a whisky, a phaeton, or a stage-coach, in short, any carriage where the driver sits on the right hand, to pass it on that side, he may not see you on the other, and though you may meet with a lash in the eye, what is the loss of an eye to a leg, or perhaps a neck. 'Take care never to throw your horse down, it is an unlucky trick, and fit only for boys. Many gentlemen of my acquaintance, and I too, have been thrown down by our horses; yet I scarce know an instance upon record of a gentleman throwing his horse down, but many have complained to me of their servants doing it for them.
