HISTOEY or THE EXPEDITION TO EUSSIA 



UNDERTAKEN BY THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON. 

 By GENERAL COUNT PHILIP DE SEGUR. 2 Vols. 



The established interest created by Count Segur's history 

 renders any commendation vain any anticipation of its con- 

 tents of no value. When those recollections of the most 

 disastrous campaign ever undertaken were first published, 

 they were charged with exaggeration, if not falsehood ; but 

 a severe scrutiny has shown that, with the exception of a 

 few unimportant errors, every statement in this extraor- 

 dinary production is entitled to public confidence. The 

 translation made for the Family Library exhibits evidence of 

 the utmost care, and the misstatemeuts into which the 

 author inadvertently fell are corrected by the translator. 



THE 



LIFE OF JOHN, DUKE OP MAELBOEO'. 



By CHARLES BUCKE. 



Editorial ingenuity, and economy in printing, have reduced 

 the varied annals of the great Marlborough within the grasp 

 of moderate literary industry. The editor has drawn a 

 fair and truthful picture of the martial Duke, lauding his 

 political and public virtues without concealing those 

 blemishes that his warmest advocates confess to be equivocal. 

 When the balance betwixt good and evil is struck, Marlborough 

 stands out in bold relief in the picture of history ; and had 

 his brilliant victories been followed by firm and honest 

 treaties, their effects, like those of Waterloo, would have 

 been felt in the happiness of the British dominions.
