A New Napoleon Book 
The Crime of 1812 
By EUGENE LABAUME 
With introduction by the late W. T. Stead 
A graphic and stirring narrative of Napoleon’s Russian Campaign of 1812, by a 
lieutenant-colonel in the French army who writes as an eye-witness. Labaume 
went through the campaign from first to last, and his book describes one of the 
greatest disasters that has ever befallen a powerful nation. The awful scenes of 
the burning of Moscow, Napoleon’s retreat from that city, and many other intense 
incidents are related with faithful attention to detail and human interest. It is a 
startling indictment of the ambition of the General who is called great. Illustrated. 
$2.75 net; postage, 15 cents. 
“Colonel Labaume’s narrative is remarkable. It is full of graphic pen pictures of 
men and places .... written with literary craftsmanship as well as with the 
force that comes from ‘actual experience.’ ”—New York Times. 
Three Remarkable Biographies 
Caesar Borgia 
By JOHN LESLIE GARNER 
Handsome in person, eloquent, a patron of learning, and an adept in the cruel, perfidious politics of his 
day, Caesar Borgia may be said to be the most perfect example of the tyrant of the Renaissance. Though 
he died at the age of twenty-eight, his career was one of amazing brilliance, and must always remain of 
extraordinary interest to the student of history and biography. Illustrated. $3.25 net; postage, 20 cents. 
Cardinal de Richelieu 
By ELEANOR C. PRICE 
A new study of the great Cardinal’s life as a man and a statesman. He is studied rather from his own 
letters and from trustworthy memoirs than from court gossip and slanderous stories inspired by envy and 
fear. The romance of heroic struggle and hard-earned victory belongs to a story which follows the Cardinal 
from his childhood in remote Poitou to the height of his power. Illustrated. $3.25 net; postage, 16 cents.
