Thiers, (Marie Joseph) Louis Adolphe. Moscow expedition; ed. by Hereford B. George. [*]$1.25. Oxford.
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.”
