EXTRACTS FROM REVIEWERS. 



The Bonaparte family is one of the most remarkable that has ever appeared on the 

 earth. Its origin T\'as so humble, its elevation so rapid and dazzling, its power so great, 

 its fall so signal and low, its re-appearance in the person of Louis~ Napoleon so unex- 

 pected and potent, and its future so portentous, that it at once arrests the attention of 

 the modern historian, and audaciously takes its place In the very foreground of his 

 canvjis. 



We are not aware that any author has before attempted to present the entire Bona- 

 parte family in one concise, yet clear and satisfactory volume. It is a work long needed, 

 and for which every intelligent person constantly feels a pressing necessity. Hence we 

 heartily welcome the work before us. Its method is excellent, its breadth and grasp 

 very remarkable, and the style lucid and brilliant. The engravings are superior, and 

 type, paper, and binding excellent. — Taunton Demoevat. » 



An interesting and instructive volume. The author has given a graphic description 

 of the career of the great Napoleon, free from that excessive flattery which distisguishes 

 the work of Abbott ; and the scarcely less brilliant career of Louis Napoleon is set forth 

 with admirable succinctness and truthfulness. The work comprises the history of 

 France, and in fact of Europe, from the revolution of 'S9 to the present time, of which 

 the misfortunes and successes of Louis Philippe fi>rm a most interesting chapter. The 

 biographical notices of the most distinguished characters that participated in public af- 

 fairs during that period, is also a valuable feature of the work. — Dem. Expounder. 



The style of the author is popular and attractive, and his book blends the interest of 

 history with that of biography. Portraits of the present Emperor and of the Empress 

 Eugenie, finely engraved, adorn the volume, which is handsomely issued in all respects.

The notices of the various members of the Bonaparte family are written with clear- 

 ness, as are also the sketches of Louis XVIII., Charles X., Louis Philippe, Theirs, La- 

 martine, Guizot, Abdel-Kader, and numerous others whose names are familiar with 

 French movements during the present century. The outline of the liussian War is 

 lmj)artially given, a commendation which may be generally accorded to the entire vol- 

 nme. — Thomas Francis Mka';her.
