"The ' Memoirs of Marshal Oudinot' are interesting because they include the his- 

 tory of one of the most brilliant periods the world has ever seen." — Chicago Evening 

 Post. 



"The reading of this charming, vivacious, and accurate book makes it a continual 

 source of wonder that any one, at this day, should be writing a history of the Napo- 

 leonic era. . . . The complete unconsciousness and the exquisite naturalness of the 

 style are charming." — N. Y. Commercial Advertiser. 



" I'his frankly loyal and graphic picturing of a great man's true character, seen from 

 the nearest of standpoints by a biographer of wondeiful keenness, is genuinely refresh- 

 ing. Vivid and explicit without being unduly sentimental, it is a book di'stinctly in- 

 valuable to and actually inseparable from a study of French history " — Boston Globe. 



" It is for the side hghts of the marshal's life that this book is chiefly valuable, and 

 wonderfully illuminating they are. Besides, there is a never ending charm in the fresh- 

 ness of the narrative. There is nothing that is dull or monotonous."— Chicago Journal. 



" Full of new and entertaining material, and has a really significant historical value. 

 . . . Th«se memoirs are noteworthy for their gentleness of tone and their freedom from 

 satire and vituperation. They deal with great events, and their very simplicity and 

 unpretentiousness are evidence of their incontestable merit." — Boston Beacon. 



" The story of this gallant soldier is of strong romantic interest and makes excellent 

 reading, while the side lights thrown on events of a long period marked by many ex- 

 traordinary changes are vastly interesting and informing. It is an inspiring and thor- 

 oughly delightful volume." — Providence News, 



" Few French commanders were more popular, both with rulers and with the people. 

 The eventful story of his life, modestly told, is charming in interest."— Chicago Inter- 

 Ocean. 



" The pages are filled with illustrious names that arouse pleasant or unpleasant mem- 

 ories, and the reader reads eagerly onward, always entertained, frequently enlightened, 

 until the last page is reached. ... It will be equally welcomed by the student of his- 

 tory and by the general reader." — Boston Satjtrday Evening Gazette. 



" Amid the mass of French memorial writing there is none that will be found more 

 attractive, because there is none more genuine than this record. "—Chicago Times- 

 Herald. 



" An extremely interesting addition to historical biography. . . . These memoirs 

 relate the extraordinary career of an extraordinary man. ... A complete biography, 

 written in an easy, natural, unpretentious style." — Detroit Free Press.
