CATALOGUE OF AUTHORS.

Abbot, Ezra.-LITERATURE OF THE DOCTRINE OF A FUTURE Life. See Alger, William Rounseville.

Abbott, Rev. John S. C. (1805- ).-CONFIDENTIAL CORRE[1] SPONDENCE OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON AND THE EMPRESS JOSEPHINE including Letters from the time of their marriage until the death of Josephine, and also several private Letters from the Emperor to his brother Joseph, and other important personages. With numerous illustrative Notes and Anecdotes. New York: Mason Brothers. 1856. 12mo. Half calf. Marbled edges.

... This is the third of Mr. Abbott's "Napoleon" series.

In the History of Napoleon Bonaparte the author has given "a record of the deeds "of the Emperor." The work was very severely criticised. In Napoleon at St. Helena he "has collected the Emperor's words," and in this volume are gathered together his "confidential letters." Mr. Abbott attempts to show that Napoleon's "affection" for Josephine was unchanged by the Divorce of 1809 and that he continued to love her deeply.

At the end of the volume is a chronological Account of the Important Events in the Emperor's career. (pp. 399-404.)
