The feature of the Cosmopolitan for
April is a story by Napoleon Bonaparte.
1t was written when Bonaparte was a
mere boy. After being buried for a 100
years, this manuscript, so unexpected
from such source, will undoubtedly re
main for all time one Of the great curiosi-
ties of literature. The handwriting does
not differ materially from that of the ab-
dlcatlOn, written at EOntainebleau in
1914, and the manuscript contains many
of those photographed blunders which
characterized his writing, and which
have been sometimes attributed to haste
and the rapid flow of his ideas, but are
more probably the result of the limited
and imperfect training which he received
at the college of Brienne The Cosmopo-
Titan Magazine, Sixth avenue and
Eleventh street, New York
