“The personality of Napoleon is as fascinating to the present generation as it has been to any since his death. And no part of his life is more fascinating than the story of his adversity. The two books before us, of very unequal value, illustrate this period of his career. The first contains the journal of his voyage to Elba, and of his slow progress to his prison-island, the other gives the history of his reign at Elba.”—Sat. R.
“It is annotated, illustrated, indexed and confessed—if the word may serve us—in a manner which disarms criticism.”

“The notes are not abundant but are pithy and to the point. By what seems an excess of conscientious editorship Mr. Rose has translated back into what he surmises to have been Napoleon’s actual words the language attributed to him by the diarists.” J. W. T.

“Dr. Rose’s introduction is of no particular importance, but several of the illustrations are new and interesting.”
