The Story Of Napoleons Death Mask Told From The Original Documents PDF Download

Excerpt from The Story of Napoleon's Death-Mask: Told From the Original Documents The towering figure of Napoleon has called forth a very large number of books during the past few years: no week but sees a new volume in one or other of the three or four tongues that count in Western Europe. An apology, perhaps, is due for hereby adding to the output, albeit the iconographical, or even the legendary, side of the Great Man cannot be said to have been overdone. The story of the truest physical presentment of the world's chief Conqueror, Administrator and Legislator should be of some interest even to the most superficial student of his career.
