_THE EXPLOITS OF BRIGADIER GERARD. A Romance of the Life of a TypicalNapoleonic Soldier._ Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
There is a flavor of Dumas's Musketeers in the life of the redoubtableBrigadier Gerard, a typical Napoleonic soldier, more fortunate than manyof his compeers because some of his Homeric exploits were accomplishedunder the personal observation of the Emperor.

In picturingthe experiences of his fearless, hard-fighting and hard-drinking hero,the author of "The White Company" has given us a book which absorbs theinterest and quickens the pulse of every reader.
