Then called Military Life Under the First Empire; it appeared in 1837 and at once enjoyed such success that copies became quite rare. Poor but sensationalized translations appeared in English. Turned author; the onetime captain of the Grande Armée described his service with racy good humor. All its characters; from marshals of the Empire to buck privates; are depicted with an astonishing accuracy; the reader senses that they have really lived. After finishing this volume; we are certain that you will feel the same inexpressible regret that comes when you turn; all too soon; the last page of a best-selling novel.
