The HISTORY of the EXPEDITION to RUSSIA, under-
taken by the Emperor NAPOLEON in 1812.
By Gen. Count PHILIP DE SEGL`R.
The unprecedented success which the original work has obtained
in France (no less than seven editions, consisting of thirty thousand
copies, having been sold off in less than ten months), is a sufficient
proof of the interest which it has excited, as well as of its extra-
ordinary merits as an historical composition. From the Author's
situation about the person of Napoleon, during this memorable
campaign, he has been enabled to give a variety of details respect-
ing that extraordinary personage, his Generals, &c. &c. which are
in a great measure new to the public, and which impart a charm
I to his work of irresistible attraction.

The History of the French is a remarkable and novel work. It
is the best, or rather the only, picture, which has been drawn, of '
the development of civilization in France, and of the progressive
improvement of that nation--always et work beneath the forms of
events and of governments, and amidst striking, as well as silent,
changes. This, indeed, is the distinguishing and peculiar merit
sif the work. M. Sismondi unfolds, with the rarest sagacity, the
truths that lie concealed beneath the facts of history—the general
state of society, and the moral and physical condition of the people.
In the course of the narrative the historian pauses_sums up and '
examines, and then proceeds to unfold and describe, with equal
truth and force, the fresh links that have bound together the we- ,
sinus classes of citizens—the ideas slowly fermenting in the public
mind—the changing state of opinion—the transformation, in short,
that society has undergone, equally unnoticed both by itself and its
masters.

This original historical work Is one of great importance. The
author unfolds, with his usual superiority, the origin of-the Italian
Republics of the eleventh century, and paints, with equal skill and
power, the resistance of the Lombardian confenerseies against the
empire—the long struggle of the (Wolfs and Ginbelines—and the
bloody contentions excited by the priesthood against the state. The
style is animated and uniform ; and this attempt, so new in France,
