Life of Napoleon Bonaparte 



By IDA M. TARBELL 



This is a profusely illustrated work, prepared with the aim of omitting no im- 

 portant Napoleonic picture. In the case of great jiaintings indisiJcnsable to a complete 

 l)ictorial life of Napoleon, of which etchings or engravings were not obtainable, i)hoto- 

 graphs were specially prepared; and in consequence the work is singularly complete on 

 its pictorial side. Moreover, it contains one of the most readable short biographies of 

 Napoleon anywhere in existence.
