An enthusiastic Collector for many years, Mr. Reilly has shown exceptional skill and intelligence in bringing together some of the more notable and important items relative to, and illustrative of the life and times of the great Emperor from the time of his first appearance as a factor in the military life of France, through the eventful days following, down to the final stage of his career and his death on the Island of St. Helena, May 5, 1821. Among the personages represented by important items in Mr. Reilly's Collection will be found the names — ^not alone of Napoleon and members of the Imperial Family — ^but also those of great rulers, statesmen and famous women identified with his career, as well as nearly all the great Marshals of France and other military men and civil officers whose influence helped to shape the events of the time and which lead to Napoleon's triumphs and ultimate downfall and death. A Collection such as this is would be next to impossible to duplicate. It is therefore of unusual interest and fitting that Mr. Reilly should offer the same at this time- — ^The Anniversary Period of Napoleon's Death. The following are some of the notable features and important items: Engravings: Special attention should be called to this feature of the Collection, as in the selection of the same Mr. Reilly had the choice of the best that was to be had and through his agents was able to procure many of the choice prints from the Latta, Halsey and Crane Collections, thereby bringing together many of the beautiful Color-Prints and Fine Proof Impressions of the Rarer Napoleonic Por- traits and Views, and which include the work of noted French, English, Dutch, German, Austrian and Italian engravers in Mezzotint, Aquatint, Stipple and Line, both in Color-Prints and Black and White.

The Order of the Iron Crown was founded by Napoleon, June 7, 1805, to commem- orate the founding of the Kingdom of Italy, and to encourage faithful service to the crown, by admitting to the Order those who rendered loyal service in any field whatsoever. There were different degrees of membership, Napoleon himself being the Grand Master of the Order. Only the Kings of Italy could succeed him in this office. The silver medal, like the one above, represented the lowest degree in the order, and was to be worn on the left side. The motto inscribed on the crown are the words uttered by Napoleon at his coronation in Milan, as he placed the crown on his head. An account and reproduction of the medal is to be found in the work by Koechlin "Les Ordres de la Couronne de Fer," [No. 735 in this catalogue] where the same is illustrated on page 3.

The bad faith of the King of England who has violated the sanctity of our treaties, by refusing to observe Article 10 of the Treaty of Amiens, who has attacked our cojnmercial vessels without a formal declaration of war, the necessity of a J7ist defence, all force us to have recourse to arms.

Paris, September 22, 1792. To the National Convention. Important and interesting letter as it gives us an insight into the character of one of the greatest military figures of the Empire, and an outline of his early career. The letter addressed to the National Convention asking that justice be done in his favor tells of the Minister of War's refusal to appoint him as brigade-major to Marshal Luckner, who had requested it, and of the Minister's letter to Gen. Keller- man to see that he (Berthier) be removed from the "Armee du Centre." Partial translation, — I look up arms with my fellow-citizens to serve the great cause we are defending. Once war was declared, I went to the front, and I merited, and I say it that all may know, the esteem of the Army and of Generals Luckner and Kellerman. . . Obedient to all authority, I left the Army with Gen. Kellerman s highest commendation. . . Once in Paris, I called on Mr. de Servan, confident in the patriotism, and uprightness of the Minister of War. . .Ah, Gentlemen, put yourself in my place for one moment and you will understand how hard it was for me to leave my companions in arms when they were fighting . . . but even in my inactivity, I wish to help the cause of Liberty as best I can. Then follows the donation of his military decorations to be sold for the benefit of soldiers' widows. It has been said that I communicated with the enemy, that I had emigrated with plans of the Army. No, Gentlemen, the man who respects himself, the free man and the man worthy of freedom, does not answer such an accusation. He continues to serve his country, and loyal to the nation, to the maintenance of liberty, equality, and the observance of the law, he dies at his post. 399.

Important Historical Letter relative to Napoleon's campaign in Spain. Napoleon had just been recalled to Paris because of serious conditions throughout Europe, and did not wish to have it known for the time being that he had left the active command of his army in Spain. In a letter to his brother Joseph, he mentions that the army is to be made to believe that he has gone to Saragossa, and that he will return shortly. A detailed account of his secret departure from Spain at this moment is contained in "Correspondance de Napoleon ler. Vol. 18, pp.220 to 228." In this letter by Berthier, the general contents of which are the same as those found in the above reference, the translation, reads in part, as follows, — / am sending yon one of my aides-de-camp, fiom among the officers in His Majesty's service, to inform you that political matters have decided ihe Emperor to return w Paris. His Majesty started out this inorning at 7 A .M. The general staff and the Imperial Guard are to remain at Vallodolid under the command of the Duke of Istria. His Majesty expects to return in March and during his absence the command will be left to his brother. King of Spain. The Emperor's departure is not to be made public. If ihe Guard remaining at Vallo- dolid should be sent to another field, only then is it to be made known that the Emperor has left the command of his artny. His Majesty has ordered ine to remain here . . . to receive the letters of the Dukes of Dalmatia and Istria, until the King has informed them that he is co7nm,anding the army. I shall depart only if nothing new turns up, or if the English reembark; and until I leave Vallodolid, I shall continue to issue orders in His Majesty's name. Then follows instructions for the Duke to send daily reports to Napoleon, and duplicates of the same to him. 402. Berthier (Louis Alexandre, Prince of Wagram — Marshal of France). L.

Insurrectional outbreaks have taken place in various sections of [^Continued Third Session, Thursday Afternoon, May 5th [No. 420. Bonaparte (Elisa) — Contimied] Italy, and the Rubicon River has landed a large number of brigands who kill and steal. The writer goes on to say she had written to the Vice-Roy and that he had shown himself indifferent. (Transulation) The French in Tvscany are alarmed; the Croations seek but to unite themselves with the Austrians. One of these battalions has al- ready been sent to the Isle of Elba, and the other is to remain in Livornia; and other military precautions have been taken. Sufficient troops are lacking to protect all the routes leading into the Duchy, viz., — that of Bologna, Modena and Parma, and Rimini, and if the enemy crosses the Po River, it will be impossibleto withstand them. The Kingof Naples promised to aid Southern Italy with his troops upon orders received from the Emperor. The period is a critical one, but hope revives at the return of the Emperor. 421. Bonaparte (Elisa — Grand Duchess of Tuscany and sister of Napoleon I.). A. L. S., I p. 4to, No place, October 2, n.y. To ["my dear Lucien," her bro- ther].

To Madame d'Esmenard, Paris. Unsigned. Tear in first leaf and hole in second, not damaging contents. Full of interesting data and humorous comments. The writer touches upon her stay at Havre, where she visits everybody, and goes everywhere, seeking distractions continually so as to forget the sad past and not think of the future. Compliments her friend upon her young daughters, for their tact and general refinement, which are far rarer qualities than talent, commenting on the fact that in America it is very hard to acciuire a polished manner. She gives her impressions of the English in a few phrases, remarking among other things that they always travel with calomel and Peerage, their most popular book. Upon the works of Byron, and particularly Don Juan, which she has been re- reading, she states that a perfect knowledge of human nature is displayed in the work, commenting, — (translation) They say his wife is in love with a Preacher. I hope he beats her so that she inay have some feeling, at least, physically. I think that that is the only kind of feeling of which such a woman is capable. All the women read Don Juan, but it is improper to say that one reads such a work. 424.

On the Return of Napoleon from Elba. Written in ink on 10 4to pages, with numerous corrections and cancellations in the Author's Auto- graph. [18 15] Carnot, an eminent statesman, in 1802 became a member of the Tribunat, and opposed Napoleon's assumption of imperial power. In 1815, during the Hundred Days, Napoleon appointed him Minister of the Interior, because he felt the neces- sity of giving some pledges to the friends of liberty. The above manuscript is evidently the original copy of the address delivered by Carnot to his colleagues, in which later makes known the situation of the Empire on Napoleon's return from Elba, its needs and resources. The following is a translation of part of the address, — • Barely three months have passed since the Emperor left the Rock of his exile, to return and deliver his country from the insupportable yoke of its enemies and those bearing French names. . . His presence alone was enough to dissolve a revengeful and perfidious government . . . and the total collapse of the dynasty occupyijig the throne was proof sufficient as to the wish of the vast majority of the people.

First of all, you must know that Marie Louise is in a very poor state of health. . . Her position is terrible. She is practically a prisoner in her own country . . . the great hero of this Century is never -mentioned by her, and neither a portrait of him is in her room at Parma or at Colonna, nor can be found anywhere the least souvenir of this illustrious husband who has been sacrificed by her family. To tell the truth, this has given 7ne such an itnpression of her character that I do not intend paying a second visit for a long time. She is entirely surrounded by spies. 495.

Davout (Louis Nicolas). — Continued] Davout, who was Minister of War during the Hundred Days, and General-in- Chief of the French Armies after Waterloo, from which command he retired during the same year, writes in part, as follows, the translation, — Whilst our brave armies watch over the well-being of the empire and her independence, their August Chief, wishing to do all in his power to restore peace to our country, has just terminated his long undertakings by the most heroic sacrifice. He renounces his supreme rank and thus forces the enemies to show tvhether they are sincere in their declaration, and if it is really against his person alone that they have declared war. . If Europe is willing to have peace France will owe it to Napoleon; if our enemies have been false in their proclamations , if they continue an unjust war, without reason, then brave warriors, present an impassible barrier to their efforts. A great nation defending her independence cannot be subjugated. Let every one rally round that Eagle which has so often led you to victory. Napoleon is doing everything that depends on him, he is sacrificing hifnself to the hatred of his enejnies to spare the shedding of your blood; be always ready to shed it for your country." "June 23rd. P. S.

The Original Manuscript of the I>egal Opinion of the Lord Chancellor of Great Britain to the Prime Minister of England, contained in a 12pp. Signed Autograph Letter, marked "Private," dated "Encombe, Wednesday morning, 1815," addressed to the Prime Minister of England. The manuscript is fastened to 3 sunken mats, followed by a typewritten copy of the same, and the printed text of the "Appendix," inlaid to size. Of the Greatest Historical and Napoleonic Importance. In this letter, the Lord Chancellor discusses the state of affairs in the most con- fidential manner possible, for the private information of the Prime Minister, the legal position being a very difficult one, and without any precedent. Eldon is obliged to advise that any Law of Nations to the contrary must be abrogated and that Napoleon be perpetually imprisoned for the safety and the general peace of the world at large. The British Government acting on the opinion given by Lord Eldon in this note conveyed the fallen Emperor to St. Helena where he was kept a prisoner till his death in 182 1. This most important historical manuscript is believed to be unpublished. The advice contained therein created a valuable precedent for future guidance, one which at rare intervals the world may need to take advantage of. The following are a few short extracts, — "Lord Bathurst probably will have informed you that after hesitation, I have determined to let the late Treaty for the Imprisonment of Buonaparte have the Great Seal appended to it. Provided we make out that Maitland received him upon terms, intitling us to consider him as a Prisoner of War, I don't think that any objection can be successfully urged against that Act. And I have acted upon the Notion that such is the case. I don't 7nean to say that I should not have so acted if that could not be made out, because whatever difficulty there might be in finding a Principle, short of that, which rests upon Necessity for imprisoning him not only until Peace, but after Peace, I am afraid we must look at as a case, in which necessity will justify his Imprisonment even after Peace. "I incline to an opinion . . . that, if Buonaparte is to be considered as a French Subject, his Imprisonment after Peace is rather to be justified upon his Case forming an Exception to general rules of the Law of Nations than by any stated Rule of that Law. But then, may it not be so justified. Take him to be a French Rebel, we have, as to him, got beyond (have we not?) the Law that 'to his Sovereign he standeth or falleth', 'that his Sovereign b' not his Sovereign's Allies are to muzzle bf to punish him', — to this his Sovereign is incofupetent — but then it is said, if so, that must be, because the French Nation would rather have B. their Sovereign than L. 18, and, by the Law of Nations, you have no right to prevent that People from choosing their own Government. This I say ' I admit generally speaking, but we have got beyond the general Truths: we i.e.. Parlia- ment, as I conceive, has determined that this is a Case of Exception, because the safety of every other Country requires that the French Nation should not be permitted to act upon the general Rule — and, if that be so, can it be contrary to the Laiv of Nations, whatever are its general Rules, to allow you to interfere against the French Nation having B — e as their Sovereign, that you should adopt 'altho' you are, or, if you are not, you will be at Peace with France, that measure which, and which alone, you are bona fide convinced can make your Interposition effectual, viz, the placing B — e in endurance. If the French Nation, by its disposal of Buonaparte, if he is a subject of that Nation, could secure us &f our Allies agt that Gentleman's machinations to destroy our Peace, I think it would be excessively difficult to justify, according to the Law of Nations, such a treatment of him after Peace; but ?nay it not be said that all that has been done, has been done upon the self-same principle, which is to be acted upon, if he is so treated viz, a bona fide, rational, sober conviction, founded upon strong Argument tendiyig to evince that this Imprison- ment is of absolute necessity to the future internal Peace bf welfare of ourselves bf our A Hies. . . "I assume in all my thoughts that Maitland has not made a Law of Nations for Buonaparte' s case by any improvident measure or rather thrown difficulties in our way, ..." The above, is without doubt, the greatest Legal Opinion of historical importance ever given, its effect excelling Cromwell's overthrow of Charles I. and the "Divine Right of Kings."

I have taken 7ip arms, and will so continue, against him as well as against yon, whenever I can, but the warfare will be an honest one, and fought as it should be fought by all princes of the house of Bourbon. 567.

FouCHE (Joseph, Duke of Otranto — Minister of Police under Napoleon and Louis XVIII). A Collection of 26 Autograph Letters, of which 3 are Signed, — Le Due d'Otrante, iq with his cipher, and 5 unsigned; also, a Let- ter Signed, another dictated by him having only the date in his autograph, and a Contemporary Manuscript Copy of a "Report on the Situation in France . . ." by Fouche, dated August 9, 181 5, 4pp. small folio, dated from Paris, Dresden, and Prague, written between March 9, 18 15, and October 8, 1817, and varying in length from one to 4 pages, i2mo to 4to. Together, 29 pieces. Important and Interesting Historical Collection of Original Letters by a high official, relating to Napoleon's return from Elba, the Hundred Days, the government of Louis XVIII, and the writer's own exile from France, in 1816. With the exception of one letter addressed to the Princess de Vaudemont, all the letters are written to Madame de Custine, widow of Gen. de Custine. This correspondence may be divided into three sections, viz, — The first group, comprising the letters (8) written between March 9 and 18th, 18 1 5, which relates to the return of Napoleon from Elba. Although Fouche accepted the appointment of Minister of Police in Napoleon's cabinet, March 20, 18x5, he nevertheless looks upon Napoleon's triumphal entry into Paris, his enthusiastic reception by the Army, and the people's lack of affection for the Bourbons, with disfavor. His only consolation is that military rule can only be of short duration. The second group, comprising the letters (12) written between April and Septem- ber, 1815, including the Report, relates to political conditions in France just preceding Napoleon's final abdication, and during the beginning of Louis XVIII's reign, during which period Fouche was also Minister of Police, having been re-appointed to that position by the new cabinet under Talleyrand. During this time, he endeavored to rally all parties and opinions around Louis XVIII, making the interests of the throne the interest of every one. He believed that the fate of Europe hung upon the situa- tion in Paris, that there could be no peace in the world, unless France were at peace herself. Because of political motives, he resigned his post in September, 18 15, his exile following. The third group, comprising the letters (9) written between October, 1815, and April, 1817, relate to his political opinions in general, his Memoirs, and his banish- ment. Here he arraigns the men in the new scheme of affairs who would not listen to aught else but the voice of passion, remaining deaf entirely to the voice of reason and wisdom. During his residence in Dresden and Prague, whither he went after his departure from his native land, he studied the Prussian view-point on political questions, and prepared his Memoirs, which he was writing in the form of Caesar's Commentaries. In the letters here mentioned, he quotes the words of the Duke of Wellington on his conduct as Minister of Police; and also gives an Apology of his political attitude towards Louis XVIII, explaining why he served first Napoleon, then the King, then Napoleon on his return, and the King again when he came back to the throne. 573.

En- closed in blue cloth folding case, gilt lettering on front cover, surmounted with the letter N and crown, with ties. In the first letter, 3pp., dated "December 2, 1818," Gourgaud states he is sending recipient a copy of his book, written almost at the dictation of the Emperor, in which he refutes the false charges made against the French army by its enemies; informs Prince Eugene of the letters he has written to the Emperors of Russia and Austria and Marie-Louise, to obtain aid for Napoleon, and states that if all does fail, there will remain the satisfaction of knowing that a majority of the English people condemn the drastic action taken by the English government towards Napoleon. In the second letter, 3pp., dated "April 28, 1819," Prince Eugene is informed by Gourgaud of the latter's condition, the fact that he is now penniless, and urges immediate aid, mentioning that Napoleon had told him upon leaving St. Helena, that if he were ever in distress, to apply at once to Prince Eugene. In the third letter, 3pp., dated "May 29, 1819," Gourguad expresses his gratitude for the aid sent him by Eugene, repeating once more Napoleon's injunction to him to have recourse to Eugene whenever he was in trouble. The fourth letter contains copies of 4 letters written by Gourgaud in 1820, from Hamburg, relative to his circumstances, in the course of which a copy is given of the order made out by Napoleon according to which his Mother was to be paid an annual income, and which sums had never been received until application was made for the same. 599.

Enclosed in blue cloth folding case, gilt lettering on front cover surmounted with the letter N and crown, with ties. The first letter torn in creases. Letters of the Greatest Historical Importance, believed by Frederic Masson never to have been received by the personages to whom they were addressed. Each of these letters is a report of the unhappy and miserable condition of the Emperor, "dying" in St. Helena, as a result of the humiliations and hardships imposed on him by those in charge. The writer pleads most earnestly with each correspon- dent, particularly with Marie-Louise, that the influence of each be used to al- leviate the condition of Napoleon, especially does he urge Marie-Louise and the Emperor of Austria to bring all their influence to bear at the Congress of Aix-la- Chapelle in behalf of the unhappy Napoleon.

With a 12-line inscription autographed by the author on fly-leaf, in Latin, taken from Tacitus, Book III. A 2-page manuscript memorandum, written in the book, states that these volumes although they reached the Island of St. Helena, were never forwarded to the Em- peror, the Governor Sir Hudson Lowe detaining them on political grounds. This was keenly felt by Napoleon, and his dissatisfaction is mentioned by O'Meara and other historians. The question was raised by Lord Holland in the House of Lords and a denial was given on the part of Sir Hudson Lowe, but at the latter's death in 1843, his library was sold, and these two volumes were included; they were purchased by Col. Gurwood, the Editor of the "Wellington Dispatches," who presented the work to Mr. Beaufoy. This binding has been reproduced in Masson's monograph on "Napoleon at St. Helena." Inserted in Vol. I are two Signed Autograph Letters, by the [Rev.] C. H.

Contemporary Official Manuscript Copy of Government Records relating mainly to the Military Magazines and Stores on the Isle of Elba, just previous to its Surrender to Napoleon, copied from Letters written by Governor Dalesme to various subordinate officers, between April 22, and May 23, 1814. Writ- ten in ink on ii}4 folio pages, in two different hands, including two pas- sages of 1 1 and 4 lines respectively, written by Gov. Dalesme, and Signed, — D. Stitched. These copies are made from letters and instructions sent by the Governor of the Isle of Elba, to Mr. Gottman, "Quarter-Master" at Longone; To Mr. Pinche, naval commander at Porto Ferrajo; Mr. Delacoudray, Captain of a Vessel; the Sub-Prefect; Mr. Gabrielle commanding the Fort at Palmajola; Mr. Maison, War Commissary; Mr. Pisani, commanding the District of Campo; the Minister of War in Italy; and General Drouot, who took possession of the Island in the name of Napoleon. The letters and instructions announce the change of Government in France, ordering that the white flag be hoisted; that the soldiers be given their choice of remaining at their post in Elba or of returning to France; that the military stores and magazines distribute only certain quantities of their material to the soldiers as per instructions received; that no armed vessel of a foreign power be allowed to land at any port for the present; that peace be maintained in every part of the Island; . . . and that the Island is to be surrendered to General Drouot, with all its magazines and stores, who is taking possession of the same in the name of the Emperor.

Very Curious Letter, in which the Commandant General of Corsica informs the Governor of Elba of the tyrant's(Napoleon's)fall and abdication, and the establishment of the new government in France, urges him to surrender the Isle of Elba at once to the new government, and pledge his allegiance to it. He declares that Corsica and Capria have just thrown off the yoke of the tyrant, and there remains but Elba to do the same. He suggests that the Isle of Elba be delivered to him. Gen. Montresor, with all its forts and batteries, and offers him passage to any port of France. This letter is evidently not an official act on the part of the new government, the writer acting on his own suggestion and authority. When Napoleon landed at Elba, on May 4, Gen. Drouot presented to Gen. Dalesme the official papers made out by the new government, by which Napoleon took possession of Elba as his property. E.)

Upon the day of Napoleon's arrival at Elba, the Commandant issued the following manifesto, which was also his farewell address, to the inhabitants, in which he made known the terms of Napoleon's declaration, as written in the above letter, which reads in part (in translation), as follows, — ■ The vicissitudes of human affairs have brought into the midst of you the Emperor Napoleon, and by his choice he is given to you as your Sovereign. Before entering inside your walls your new and august monarch has addressed to me the following words, which I hasten to make known to you as they are the guarantee of your future happiness, — "Gejieral, I have sacrificed my rights to the interests of the country, and have reserved for myself the sovereignty and property of the Island of Elba, to which all the powers have consented. Make kttown this new state of affairs to the inhabitants, and the choice I have made of their island for my residence, on account of the mildness of their maimers and of their climate.

The translation of this very interesting letter reads in part as follows, — / see with pain thai the good friends of the Republic let thetnselves be intimidated by a handful of brigands, at a time when Liberty is about to triumph more strongly than ever; they have probably forgotten that there are 300,000 republicans in the armies ready to march to crush these miserable creatures who till now only inspired us with pity, but hereafter, no more pity for these blackguards. The army has sworn war to the death in the addresses just sent to the governjnent, and swears also that if the government will not take measures after what they have learned . . . then the army will divide itself, and will find no more difficulty in marching to Paris, than it found in marching to Vienna. I repeat again no mercy will be shown. If our good countrym,en knew the morale of our army, they would understand that our Country is not in danger . . . yes, gather together every day and take courage, and be assured that we are ready to die for you . we do not fear for the Republic, we know our strength. 657.

There would have been so many things to correct, others to clarify, and still others to he crossed out as foreign to my recollection, that ijistead of a text book, you would have had a commentary on the same. Besides, those who remained at Longwood are the worst jtidges as to the merits of such a work. We were all so familiar with these things, that we are astonished that everyone does not know what is read in a written work, which we always consider lifeless and colorless. The only impression after reading the hook which remains, . . .is that there is danger in our talking of these events, and that we ought to keep silence; for what is recorded frotn conversations . . . tnay he tnisundertsood, wrongly translated, mutilated . . . and then the person who spoke is cited as an unquestionable authority . 666.

Hatry, and with him, went to see Director Barras, where we met Generals Hoche and Debelle, the ministers, several foreign ambassadors, and representatives of the people; I told them just what I thought of their conduct, of the state of the army, and of our administrations; I was warmly welcomed, and up till the present, I have seen nothing to justify the public rumors heard regarding their luxurious living and display; I did not conceal from them either how much our brave army would be losing when it loses you; they all expressed great regret over your resignation, and urged me, several times, to use all my influence that you might remain at your post. All that I could tell you of public opinion would give you but a very faint idea of the rottenness of the aristocracy, and the terrible egoism, so evident in France; I do not know what will be the final outcome, but I do fear it will be disastrous to the Republic. 676.

On official paper, with vignette. Long and interesting letter in the course of which he states that although the Jacobins might have gained strength as a result of the rash opinions of some of the new deputies, still this did not warrant the Directory in making more blunders. Agrees with Dumas that the dismissal of the Minister and the forward movements of the troops will not cause any great trouble, and that as long as there is party dissension, there can be no domestic peace, and without the latter, there can be no adjustment of the financial situation and nothing will work in order. Expresses his satisfaction with the army as a whole, which, with a few exceptions, never com- plains although the men have been without pay for several months, and have suf- fered hardships in consequence. Speaks of the punishment meted out to the rebellious soldiers, which punishment produced a salutary effect on all the men. Mention of the Italian campaign is made, regarding which Moreau says he does not like to see their northern and eastern frontiers sacrificed for that of the Italian republic where strife will break out as soon as the French troops quit. He has sent Desaix to Italy to find out just what is going on there. Informs his friend that Bona- parte has been charged with seeing that the sum levied on Bavaria is paid. Comments on a treaty entered upon with the English and Austrians, in which he thinks Gen. Dumas has been used as a tool, since the Emperor is taking so long to come to terms, and the French have no guarantees, there is evidently an attmpet to try to dislodge the French force from the Rhine. He further comments on the up- rising in Hungary due to the Emperor's fear lest the Turks oppose his attempts to take Dalmatia, i. e., the Italian part, and to obstacles put forth by Russia and Prussia relative to the treaty, whatever its terms, to be signed, and ends with his regret that the general's brother had left them, and informing him that they have been starving ever since his departure.

Royal 4to, 4pp. stitched, uncut, leaves foxed, plate repaired in margin. No place [1821] History informs us that Napoleon died of cancer of the stomach. In this work, the author attempts to prove it was impossible for him to die of this dread disease, having been ill but forty days. Without doubt, history will tell us what an Italian priest was doing at St. Helena. Napoleon died a despot's death, the result of inor- dinate ambition, which he predicts will be the cancer that will cause the death of his son. Napoleon II. The frontispiece is a curious lithograph showing Napoleon's heir, the young King of Rome, asleep on his couch, pursued by the ghost of his father pointing out the fate in store for him, which is to be the same as that shared by his father. In the upper corner of the lithograph is a small scene representing three male figures gaining on a fallen figure, representing the despotism which Napoleon exercised over his sub- jects, and which despotism caused his end. 768.

The address, made April 20, 1814, after the occupation of Paris by the Allies, and Napoleon's enforced abdication in favor of Louis XVI H, begins (in translation), — Officers, u7tder-off^cers and soldiers of the old guard, I bid you farewell! For 20 years I have been satisfied with you, I have always found you following the road of honor and glory. . . Be faithful to the new King which France has chosen; never abandon this dear country too long unhappy. . . [A marginal note at this point, in the same hand as the manuscript, reads, — ] Here the Emperor burst into a torrent of tears. [Another note at foot states, that the address was made to the few members of the old guard who were at Fontainebleau at the time.] According to a note at foot this address was sent by Gen. Friant, French general under Napoleon, commander of the Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard, who was near the Emperor when he addressed these words to a handful of the Old Guard who were at Fontainebleau. 794.

Enclosed in morocco slip-case, gilt lettering on back. Unique Item. Each pencil annotation by Napoleon is inscribed, — "Ecriture et chiffre de la Main de I'Empereur Napoleon a Vile de St. Helene," and signed "Pierron, son maitre d'hotel a St. Helene." The first entry in the book is dated "January, 1818," and the last "May 5, 1821," the day on which Napoleon died. It was kept by Pierron, his head-cook, who fol- lowed him to St. Helena. From January 1819, Napoleon himself supervised the accounts of the day, making notes when he deemed the same necessary. Pierron would use the English monetary system in making out his accounts, and Napoleon would change these amounts into French values in a marginal note. Most of the pages bear the signature "M" or "P." After the death of Napoleon, Pierron put away the book carefully, taking care to certify the authentication of every note and figure made by the Emperor. Later, the book found its way into the collection of P. Dablin, whose bookplate is here inserted, and was sold in Paris at public auction after Dablin's death. 799.

The writer wishes an investigation of the affair made and a report rendered him, as public order and peace must be maintained, and such an event in a small place creates disturbance. 859.

Since these articles are among the best works of literature and express the loftiest sentiments on patriotism, it would be well to have them, in book form, distributed as prizes in the schools, as the same would please the Emperor, and serve a two-fold purpose, viz, — ■ impress upon students these two important events and so excite in them feelings of patriotism, and accustom them to the best current literature. 860.

Savary (Anne J. M. R.). —Continued] genius of the Emperor. He comments on various statements made in the work, clearing away some points left in doubt, and shedding light on facts misinterpreted by the writer. Relating to his own autobiographic "Memoirs," published in 1828, he states that the facts mentioned therein were true, since he had been a witness to them, and where a fact had been reported to him, he had clearly stated it as such. Among the points of discussion which he raises, are allusions to a document which had been removed from Talleyrand's portfolio by a certain individual who had communicated the contents of it to some one else, the latter betraying the information to the English authorities. The person who had obtained the document had confessed the whole affair to Savary himself. Then follows mention of the punishment meted to the culprits with comments thereon, referring incidentally to Mr. Pitt in connection with the affair. Again, the writer having stated that he, Savary, often mingled erroneous with truthful statements, he mentions the fact of his intimate knowledge relative to statements he had made in his own "Memoirs." Further on, he mentions the true motive for sending of certain republican officers on the expedition of St. Domingo, with particular reference to the parts played by D'Aure, Mr. Benesech, and Gen. Dugast, relative to the same. ScHUERMANS (Albert). Itlneraire General de Napoleon ler. Preface par Henry Houssaye. Ouvrage Couronne par I'Academie Frangaise. Second Edition.

S., 4pp. Paris, September 23, 1806. To M. Bignon, at Cassel. Long and important letter relative to Napoleon's intended invasion of German territory. The writer acknowledges receipt of letter from Mr. Louis Pierre E. Bignon (emi- nent French statesman and historian) which he had given to the Emperor, and of the latter's surprise at the brief report rendered on the movements of the Prussian troops in Hesse-Cassel and the surrounding territory, and on the Elector's plans. Could he be ignorant of such an important move or are the generals' reports false? A rumor says that the roads of Hesse are filled with soldiers returning from furloughs. Requests that the recipient send a report twice a week, and later, a daily one, as His Majesty wishes to have the minutest details on any movement made by the troops at Gottingen, Osnabruck, and adjacent countries, and the make-up of the troops under the various generals. Everything going on at Magdebourg, Hall and Berlin is to be reported. He suggests that frequent attendance at couit may help him to obtain valuable information as to the regiments under German command, their destinations, force and the like. Then follows many questions on the state of the Prussian army. Informs the recipient that the Emperor is to be at Mayence on the 28th, that he is to report to his Majesty with all the necessary information, and that the true reason for his visit is to be concealed. 879.

London, 1907 Inserted is a 3-page Signed Autograph Letter by Queen Hortense, in French, Rome, January 9, 1831. To "My dear brother [Prince Eugene de Beauharnais]." Interesting letter in which Hortense mentions that the account of events in Italy (the insurrec- tionary movement going on in Italy at that moment) had been greatly magnified abroad, and that nothing more serious than a momentary panic had really taken place; her son's hasty and sudden departure also urges her brother to attend to the matter of their claims before the French government while the royalist party, under Louis Philippe, seem in the mood to consider the same.

Waterloo. Derniere Campagne de Napoleon Bonaparte. 18 15. Original Manuscript, in French, giving an account of Napoleon's movements from June 11, 1815, when he left the Elysee, to his return there, June 21, after the defeat at Waterloo. Written in ink on 6 folio pages, with a type- written English translation. Printed title-page inserted. Folio, red crushed French levant morocco, gilt lettered, gilt top, by birdsall. Leaves of manuscript soiled and frayed at edges. 18 15 This Manuscript came from the Sir Thomas Phillips' Sale, where it was sold in a lot of loose manuscripts. Sir Thomas Phillips bought it from Toovej' about 30 or 40 years before, i.e., about i860. The narrative, which is certified as true by an Equerry of the Emperor, apparently is the work of some one attached to Napoleon's person during the Waterloo Campaign. Some of the details concerning Napoleon's movements are interesting and it is apparent that the writer, who in one or two places uses the word "we" in describing the Emperor's flight from the field, was actually with him. The spelling and grammar are often incorrect. — Note preceding the English translation. 896.

He discusses the case of Lord Portarlington, who on the morning on which was fought the Battle of Waterloo, was found missing fiom the command of his regiment. The writer privately advises him to retire from the service, as a court-martial always brings out circumstances which might as well not be published. Accompanying the above is a printed genealogical outline of the family; and also, a typewritten biographical account of Lord Portarlington. 897.
