“A timely publication is the new and cheaper edition of Ida M. Tarbell’s popular study of Napoleon. In this work Miss Tarbell tells the wonderful story of Napoleon’s career with so sure a grasp of the facts and so keen an appreciation of their real significance, that the reader finds the Napoleonic age vividly reconstructed before him.

“It is perhaps one of the most accurate descriptions of Napoleon ever written, yet its style is bright and the thread of the narrative so well maintained that it is most entertaining reading.

“The illustrations, drawn from the collection of Napoleon engravings made by the late Hon. G. G. Hubbard, and now owned by the Congressional Library, and supplemented by pictures from the best French collections, are of special value.”—Philadelphia Public Ledger.

“One should be thankful for this volume by Miss Tarbell, which is the most readable and authentic of all Napoleon biographies.”—Pittsburg Gazette.
