S. Baring Gould.THE LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. ByS. Baring Gould. With over 450 Illustrations in the Text and 13 Photogravure Plates.Large quarto. Gilt top. 36s.

‘A brilliant and attractive volume. It impresses first by reason of its bulk, and next by reason of its substantial and striking binding. Within, it is remarkable, to begin with, for the considerable number and unusual excellence of its illustrations. Never before, it is safe to say, have so many pictures relating to Napoleon been brought together within the limits of an English book. The portraits alone are multitudinous; Bonaparte is presented to us at all ages, in all sorts of costume, and amid very varied circumstances. Then there are reproductions of statuettes, busts, and medals, caricatures, portraits of his connections by birth and marriage, representations of events in which he tookpart, and what not. The list of illustrations in the text covers nine pages, and in addition there are a dozen full-page photogravures, in which famous paintings are reproduced. Altogether, this is a table-book of the first class. But it is more. It embodies “a study of the character and opinions of Napoleon” on which Mr. Baring Gould can be freely congratulated. The writer’s plan has been to “lay on one side what concerned Napoleon’s military achievements and the political importance of his life, so far as did not bear on the development of his mind and the movements of his heart.” By this means a novel point of view has been secured, and the result is a narrative of which the chief characteristic is an agreeable freshness.’—Globe.
