The work from the pen of Napoleon I. will be published
at Augsburg.
According to the Guardian, " The Emperor has
sent to this country five presentation copies of his
' Life of Julius Caesar,' with his autograph in each. We
have reason to believe that of these copies one has been
presented by him to her Majesty, another to Lord Pal-
merston, another to Lord Malmesbury, and another to Su
Henry Holland. Of the destination of the fifth copy, we
are not informed." Perhaps the mystery in the Guardian's
view as to the destination of this fifth copy may be cc'
plained by the fact that the Emperor has expressed his
satisfaction with Mr. Wright, his English translator, by
sending him a special copy of the Imperial edition—Queril
