 donald, Bernadotte, Augereau, Lefebvre, \ 

 Kellermann. 



The biographies are twenty-seven in 

 number — Napoleon and his twent;^-six 

 marshals, being all those created by him — 

 and therefore these pages have a complete- 

 ness about them which no other work of a 

 similar design possesses. 



The style is clear and comprehensive, 

 and the book may be relied upon for histo- 

 rical accuracy, as the materials have been 

 drawn from sources the most authentic. 

 The Conversations of Napoleon, with Mon- 

 tholon, Gourgaud, Las Cases and Dr. O'- 

 Meara have all been consulted as the true 

 basis upon which the lives of Napoleon 

 and his commanders under him should be 

 founded. 



"The article on Napoleon, which occu- 

 pies the greater part of the first volume, is 

 written in a clear and forcible style and 

 displays marked ability in the author. Par- 

 ticular attention has been paid to the early 

 portion of Napoleon's life, which other wri- 

 ters have hurriedly dispatched as though 

 they were impatient to arrive at the opening 

 glories of his great career." — N. Y. Mirror. 



"The lives of the Marshals and their 

 Chief, the military paladins of the gorgeous 

 modern romance of the 'Empire,' are given 

 with historic accuracy and without exag- 

 geration of fact, style or language."--.Ba^- 

 timore Patriot, 



" We have long been convinced that the 

 ' character of Napoleon would never receive 

 *even handed justice' until some impartial 

 and intelligent American should undertake 

 the task of weighing his merits and deme- 

 rits. In the present volume this has been 

 done with great judgment. We do not 

 know the author of the paper on Napoleon, 

 but whoever he may be, allow us to say to 

 him that he has executed his duty better than 

 any 'predecessor.'^''— Evening Bulletin. 



" The style of this v/ork is worthy of com- 

 mendation—plain, pleasing and narrative, 

 the proper style of history and biography 

 in which the reader* does not seek fancy 

 sketchss, and dashing vivid pictures,^ but 

 what the work professes to contain, biogra- 

 phies. AVe commend this as a valuable 

 library book worthy of preservation as a 

 work of reference, after having been read." 

 •—Bn.lt. AmeriDan. 



"This is the clearest, most concise, and 

 most interesting life of Napoleon and his 

 marshals which has yet been given to the 

 public. Tne arrangement is judicious and 



the charm of the narrative continues ua* 

 broken to the end." — City Item 



"The publishers have spared no pams or 

 expense in its production, and the best talent 

 in the country has been engaged on its va- 

 rious histories. The style is plain and gra- 

 phic, and the reader feels that he is perusing 

 true history rather than the ramblings of a 

 romantic mind."— Xa(ii/'s Booh. 



"The result of these joint labors is a series 

 of narratives, in which the events succeed 

 each other so rapidly, and are of so marvel- 

 ous a cast, as to require only the method in 

 arrangement and the good taste in descrip- 

 tion which they have received from the 

 hands of their authors. The inflated and 

 the Ossianic have been happily avoided." — 

 Colonization Herald. 



"Their historical accuracy is unimpeach- 

 able, and many of them (the biographies) 

 are stamped with originality of thought and 

 opinion. The engravings are numerous and 

 very fine. The book is well printed on fine 

 white paper, and substantially bound. It 

 deserves a place in all family and school 

 libraries." — Bulletin. 



"It abounds in graphic narratives of bat- 

 tles, anecdotes of the world-famed actors, 

 and valuable historical information." — Rich" 

 mond Inquirer. 



" We receive, therefore, with real plea- 

 sure, this new publication, having assurance 

 that great pains have been taken in the pre- 

 paration of each individual biography, and 

 especially in collating the various authori- 

 ties upon the early history of the Emperor. 

 There appears to be nowhere any attempt 

 to blind the reader by dazzling epithets, and 

 the accuracy of construction throughout is 

 highly creditable to the editor."— Commer- 

 cial Advertiser^ N. Y, 



"The style Is simplicity itself, wholly free 

 from the amusing pomposity and absurd in- 

 flation that distinguish some of the works 

 which have gone before it."
