This is a reprint of an extract of Thiers’s “Histoire du consulat et de l’empire,” which was published between 1845-1862. It follows Thiers’s text in the French but is supplemented by explanatory notes in English, and a personal and geographical index.

“On the whole, however, this volume deserves a cordial welcome. It is the first time that a competent authority has produced a careful and critical commentary on this portion of Thiers’s work.”
