Reproduction of no. 612 (mezzotint of Napoleon by Charles Turner from J. J. Masquerier) on front cover.

No. 749, priced at £50, is Gen. Gaspard Gourgaud's 'Manuscripts respecting Napoleon I., in his autograph'; its twenty-line description begins with 'The Original Manuscript of a Portion of Napoleon's Own Memoirs dictated to Gen. Gourgaud at St. Helena, 11pp. folio.' Also present is a letter by Napoleon's mother, priced at £14, and transcribed in full. Scarce: no copy in the British Library and the only copy on COPAC at the National Library of Wales.
