These Memoirs, next to those of
Nine. Remusat, are the most inter
esting which have been recently pub
lished concerning the life and times
of Napoleon. They cover the entire
period from the outbreak of the Rev
olution in Paris to the Punishment of
Napoleon to ST. Helena Their his
torlcal value is derived from the fact
that they were written from journals
carefully kept by the Count, in which

the doings of the day. Many inter
esting conversations with Napoleon
are given.
