Colonel Theodore Ayrault Dodge, some time prominently 

 connected with the rubber industry, was even then, as he had been 

 before and has since been, at work upon a life of Napoleon, 

 the final volume (the fourth) of which has just been brought 

 out by his publishers, Houghton, Mifliin & Co. (Boston). This 

 work is widely regarded as the ablest history of the military life 

 of Napoleon that has been written in English. This work is 

 part of a series devoted to the lives of great commanders, and 

 Colonel Dodge is at work upon the history of Frederick the 

 Great, the completion of which will mark the end of a pro- 

 gram which has occupied him for more than 30 years.
