The following description of Napoiean's person

I" Napolcan Buonaparte, when he came 90 board
the Bellerophon, on the 5sh Of July, 1915, wanted
exactly one month Of completing his forty sixth
year. being born on the l5h Of August, 1863. He
was then a remarkably strong, welbuilt man, abont
FIVE feet seven inches high; his limbs particularly
well formed, with fine anclc and very small foot,
of which he seemed rather vain. he always wore,
while board the ship, silk stockings and shoes.
His hands were also very small, and had the plump
ness Of womsn's, rather than the Robustness Of o
man's His eyes light grey, teeth good, ard when
he smiled, the expression of his counter ance was
highly pleasing when under the influence oi dIsap
pointmen, however, it assumed dark gloomy cast.
His hair OF a very dark brown nearly approach

front, had not grey hair amongst it, tIis COM
