“‘Madame de Rémusat’s Memoirs’ will remain as the most finished picture of the Napoleonic Court in its outward glory and its inner pettiness.”—London Athenæum.

Memoirs of Napoleon, his Court and Family. By the Duchess d’Abrantes (Madame Junot). New edition. In two vols., 12mo. Cloth. Price, $3.00.
The interest in the first Napoleon and his Court, which has recently been so stimulated by the “Memoirs of Madame de Rémusat,” has induced the publishers to reissue the famous “Memoirs of the Duchess d’Abrantes.” These memoirs, which hitherto have appeared in costly 8vo volumes, are now published at a much lower price, to correspond with the De Rémusat 12mo volume. The work at the present juncture will be read with attention, especially as it presents a much more favorable portrait of the great Corsican than that limned by Madame de Rémusat.
V.
The Life of David Glasgow Farragut, First Admiral of the United States Navy, embodying his Journal and Letters. By his Son, Loyall Farragut. With Portraits, Maps, and Illustrations. 8vo. Cloth. Price, $4.00.
“The book is a stirring one, of course; the story of Farragut’s life is a tale of adventure of the most ravishing sort, so that, aside from the value of this work as an authentic biography of the greatest of American naval commanders, the book is one of surpassing interest, considered merely as a narrative of difficult and dangerous enterprises and heroic achievements.”—New York Evening Post.
