About This Item
New York: The Century Co./The De Vinne Press, 1901. Quarto. In four volumes, color frontispieces with several other full page illustrations. Sloane was a professor history in Princeton University. His researches had extended over several years. He used original material not used by anyone else as far as he knew. At the close of the books there is a short account of the papers of Bonaparte's boyhood and youth and portions of the French and English archives which were put at his disposal, together with a short though reasonably complete bibliography of the published books and papers of scientific value. All volumes bound in maroon cloth, pictorially stamped with Napoleon's coat-of-arms in gilt, spines gilt lettered and decorated, spines somewhat faded, volume four with fading to upper board, these volumes do not appear to have been rebacked but do contain fresh endpapers(?). Internally clean and fresh. A very good set.
