NAPOLEON, LOVER AND HUSBAND
By Frederic Masson, translated by J. M. Howell. If there is any figure in the world's history that the present age might suppose that it knew, Napoleon Bonaparte would be taken as preeminently the best known; and yet, the real Napoleon, the Lover and Husband, has been fairly left untouched until to-day. Frederic Masson reveals the lover side of Napoleon in the most fascinating manner, and shows that his greatest enterprises have been to a grave extent influenced or modified by feminine associations.
NAPOLEON'S MILITARY CAREER
By Montgomery B. Gibbs. A gossipy, anecdotal account of Napoleon as his marshals and generals knew him on the battlefield and around the camp-fire. Reveals something new on every page concerning this son of a poor Corsican gentleman who "played in the world the parts of Alexander, Hannibal, Cæsar, and Charlemagne."
"The illustrations beginning with the famous 'snuff-box' portrait are capital, and the book is a dignified adjunct to modern study of a redoubtable giant."—Chicago Herald.
NAPOLEON FROM CORSICA TO ST. HELENA
By John L. Stoddard. A pictorial work illustrating the remarkable career of the most famous military genius the world has ever known. It contains pictures of all of Napoleon's marshals and generals, his relatives, the famous places where Napoleon lived as Emperor, and the monuments erected to perpetuate his brilliant achievements on the battlefields of Europe. The pictures in themselves constitute a priceless collection, and the descriptions by John L. Stoddard a truthful history of the great hero.
RECOLLECTIONS OF THE PRIVATE LIFE OF NAPOLEON
By Constant, Premier Valet de Chambre; translated by Walter Clark. Three superb volumes, cloth, handsomely stamped in gold. Although first published in 1830, it has just recently been translated into English. Notes have been added by the translator, greatly enhancing the interest of the original work of Constant.
This man has been studied as a soldier, a statesman, an organizer, and a politician, but, although he was undeniably great in all, men will always seek to know something about Napoleon as a man. These volumes will supply the desired information, for they are written by one who joined him in 1800, and was with him constantly until he laid down the sceptre fourteen years later.
