PUBLISHERS' ADVERTISEMENT.

It has been often remarked in Europe, that if an impartial History of Napoleon and his Times should ever be written, it would come from America. The object of this publication is to furnish such a work. In its preparation, brilliant and experienced pens have been engaged; and we have spared no expense in making the appearance of the book worthy of the splendor of the subject.

From the public Archives of our own and Foreign States, and

from members of the Bonaparte Family on both sides of the At

lantic, valuable authentic materials have been obtained, which are here for the first time brought to light. Especial care has been bestowed on the portraits, all of which have been taken from original sources, and some of which have never before been engraved. The Napoleon Dynasty is, therefore, submitted to the candid criti

cism of the public, as the only complete work on the subject which has ever been published.
