LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, 



BY J. O. LOOKHART. 

 With Steel Portrait, 393 pp. 12mo., Muslin. Price $1 25. 



"The lightning may flash and the loud thunder rattle, 

 He heeds not, he hears not, he's free from all pain ; 



He has slept his last sleep, he has fought his last battle, 

 No sound can awake him to glory again." 



He was the greatest actor the world has known since the. time 

 of Caesar. He sported with crowns and sceptres as the baubles of a 

 child. He rode triumphantly to power over the ruins of the thrones 

 with which he strewed his pathway. Vast armies melted away like 

 wax before him. He moved over the earth as a meteor traverses the 

 Bky, astonishing and startling all by the suddenness and brilliancy of 

 his career. Here was his greatness. The earth will feel his power 

 till its last cycle shall have been run.

THE EMPKESS JOSEPHINE,

BY P. C. HEADLEY. 

 With Steel Portrait, 383 pp., 12mo., Muslin. Price $1 25. 



"Like the lily. 



That once was mistress of the field and flowers here, 

 I'll hang my head and perish." 



Josephine, for the times in which she lived, was a model of 

 female character ; and if this volume shall make the study of it mora 

 general, it will so far extend the admiration of the pure and beautiful, 

 in contrast with all the forms of corruption humanity could present in 

 a period of bloody Revolution. The Empress was a greater personage 

 than Napoleon in the elements of moral grandeur, and retained her 

 rtvereignty in the hearts of the people, while he ruled by th unri- 

 "Jed splendor of his genius.
