The Century for November signalizes
the opening of its twenty-hfth year by
the beginning of one of its most important
| enterprises the Life of Napoleon, by Will
lam NJ. Sloane, professor of history at
| Princeton college. 1t is believed that the
time has come to make a new and un-
| prejudiced review of the facts of Napol-
| cons life in the light of the documents
now accessible, and the memoirs of which
/ the last twenty years have been so pro
! life. The first chapters deal with Ma
| poleon's childhood and youth, including
| the Corsican period and his school days in
| IdllGts dLO III TINS period the history
! has the value of a unique fullness. Much
! care has been bestowed in the selection
] of illustrations from the large amount Of
! accessible material and the installment
| is rich in portraits, in pictures OF places,
| and in carefully drawn views of typical
| scenes in Napoleon's life. Among the il
| Illustrations are a hitherto unpublished
! portrait of Napoleon at 16. drawn by q
| schoolfellow, and a fac-simile of the last
| page of his exercise book at school, con
| tanning a curious reference to st. Helena.
