ment.” — Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.

THE LIFE OF NAPOLEON I. 
INCLUDING NEW MATERIALS FROM THE BRITISH OFFICIAL RECORDS 
By J. H. ROSE, M.A. 
Author of ‘‘ The Revolutionary and Napoleonic Era, 1789—1815,’’ etc. 
Illustrated. In two volumes. Cloth. 8vo. $4.00, net 

“Mr. Rose seems to have read everything bearing on his subject, and to discriminate wisely 
as to the value of the authorities. In particular he has for the first time thoroughly explored 
the English Foreign Office Records. The information which he derives from them serves in 
general to confirm the views held by the majority, at least of competent judges. English policy 
during the great struggle which arose out of the French Revolution was, as it has usually been, 
honest and sound in purpose, but too often ill managed and weak in its methods.... Mr. Rose 
excels in the difficult art of stating complicated matters briefly and yet clearly.... Best of all, 
perhaps, is his chapter on the schemes for colonial expansion which Napoleon set on foot as 
soon as France was at peace; it is admirably clear, and contains much that will be new to most 
readers. Mr. Rose is equally successful in his military narrative, a subject which is especially 
difficult to treat both briefly and lucidly. He always sees the essential points and never includes 
needless details, though here and there an additional fact would have made the whole more 
easy of comprehension. ... We do not know where else to find a series of great military 
operations described so well and also so concisely. . . . Nothing could be better than the pages” 
in which he describes and comments on the death of Pitt.” — 7he London Times. 
“The author is John Holland Rose, the well-known English historian, and his biography — 
of Napoleon Bonaparte will have little difficulty in taking rank as the best in the language. 
Napoleon is, to Mr. Rose, neither a demi-god nor an ogre, but a wonderfully brilliant man, 
whose complete, but on the whole, attractive personality is made the subject of a penetrating 
and luminous psychological study.” — 7he Philadelphia Press.
