Daily News. "We have seldom met with a human document which has interested us so 



much." 

 Athenceum. "As a record of personal suffering and indomitable perseverance against 



opposing circumstances the narrative of De Cartrie's escape to the Eastern frontier, in 



the disguise of a master-gunner, could not easily be surpassed."

Chronicles' of the Court of Napoleon III. By FREDERIC LOLIEE. 

 With an introduction by RICHARD WHITEING and 53 full-page 

 Illustrations, 3 in Photogravure. Demy 8vo. 2i/. net. 



Standard^. "M. Frederic Loliee has written a remarkable book, vivid and pitiless in its 

 description of the intrigue and dare-devil spirit which flourished unchecked at the French 

 Court. . . . Mr. Richard Whiteing's introduction is written with restraint and dignity." 



Daily Telegraph. " It is a really fascinating story, or series of stories, set forth in this 

 volume. . . . Here are anecdotes innumerable of the brilliant women of the Second Em- 

 pire, so that in reading the book we are not only dazzled by the beauty and gorgeousness 

 of everything, but we are entertained by the record of things said and done, and through 

 all we are conscious of the coming ' gloom and doom ' so soon to overtake the Court. 

 Few novels possess the fascination of this spirited work, and many readers will hope that 

 the author will carry out his proposal of giving us a further series of memories of the 

 'Women of the Second Empire.'"

Morning' Post. ". . . May be welcomed as an important addition to Austeniana . . .; 

 it is besides valuable for its glimpses of life in the Navy, its illustrations of the feelings 

 and sentiments of naval officers during the period that preceded and that which 

 followed the great battle of just one century ago, the battle which won so much but 

 which cost us Nelson."
