Book Description

Excerpt from Napoleon and the Grand Army in Russia Four editions of the work we are about to examine have already appeared, and our remarks upon it, though long since prepared, are only now emerging from the port-folio. Why has their publication been so long delayed? and why are they published now? To these enquiries, which the reader may not unreasonably make, we will reply in a few words. The size of Mr. de Segur's work, its high price, the portraits and embellishments which have been successively added to it, seemed to warrant the belief that its circulation would be confined to a class of readers who, by their acquaintance with the men and facts treated of, would be enabled to judge of it correctly for themselves.
