"Meneval made excellent use of the rare opportunity he enjoyed of
studying closely and at close range the personality of the supreme
genius in human history."--_Philadelphia Press._

"Of all the memoirs illustrating the history of the first
Napoleon--and their number is almost past counting--there is
probably not one which will be found of more value to the
judicious historian, or of more interest to the general reader,
than these.... Meneval, whose Memoirs were written nearly fifty
years ago, had nothing either to gain or to lose; his work, from
the first page to the last, impresses the reader with a deep
respect for the author's talent, as well as his absolute honesty
and loyalty."--_N. Y. Independent._

"These Memoirs constitute an important contribution to the

existence in Napoleon of gentle, humane, sympathetic, and amiable
qualities, with which he has not been often credited."--_N. Y.

eminently fair."--_London Chronicle._

"Mr. Dawson has made a remarkably close and discriminating study
of German life and institutions at the present day, and the
results of his observations are set forth in a most interesting
manner."--_Brooklyn Times._

"There is scarcely any phase of German national life unnoticed
in his comprehensive survey.... Mr. Dawson has endeavored to
write from the view-point of a sincere yet candid well-wisher,
of an unprejudiced observer, who, even when he is unable to
