Swallow Barn, or A sojourn in the Old Dominion

PRIVATE MEMOIRS OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, from
the French of M. Fauvelet de Bourrienne, Private Secretary
to the Emperor. Second American Edition, with great
additions; complete in one volume.

“This English translation, which has been very faithfully rendered, is
still more valuable than the original work, as upon all points where any
obliquity from other published recitals occurs, the translator has given several
accounts, and thus, in the form of notes, we are presented with the
statements obtained from Napoleon's own dictation at St. Helena, from the
Memoirs of the Duke of Rovigo, of General Rapp, of Constant, from the
writings of the Marquis of Londonderry, &c.”

—U. Ser. Jour.

“The peculiar advantages of position in regard to his present subject,
solely enjoyed by M. de Bourrienne, his literary accomplishments and
moral qualifications, have already obtained for these memoirs the first rank
in contemporary and authentic history. In France, where they had been
for years expected with anxiety, and where, since the revolution, no work
connected with that period or its consequent events has created so great a
sensation, the volumes of Bourrienne have, from the first, been accepted
as the only trustworthy exhibition of the private life and political principles
of Napoleon.

“We know from the best political authority now living in England, that
the writer's accounts are perfectly corroborated by facts.”

—Lit. Gaz.

“The only authentic Life of Napoleon extant.”

—Courier.

“This splendid publication that literally leaves nothing to be desired.

—Atlas.

“These volumes may be read with all the interest of a romance.”

—Courier.

“No person who is desirous rightly to appreciate the character of Bonaparte,
will neglect the perusal of this work; whoever wishes to know, not
merely the General or the Emperor, but what the man really was, will
find him well pictured here.”

—Times.

“The completest personal recollections of Napoleon that have appeared.”

—Morn. Post.

“As a part of the history of the most extraordinary man, and the most
extraordinary times that ever invited elucidation, these memoirs must continue
to the latest ages to be records of invaluable interest.”

—Lit. Gaz.

A GENERAL VIEW OF THE PROGRESS OF ETHICAL
PHILOSOPHY, chiefly during the Seventeenth and Eighteenth
centuries. By Sir James Mackintosh, M. P. In 8vo.

“This, in our humble opinion, is the best offspring of the pen of an author
who in philosophical spirit, knowledge and reflection, richness of
moral sentiment, and elegance of style, has altogether no superior—perhaps
no equal—among his contemporaries. Some time ago we made copious
extracts from this beautiful work. We could not recommend the
whole too earnestly.”

—National Gazette.
