_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. His delightfully romanticcareer included an oddly characteristic glimpse of England, and hisadventures ranged from the battlefield to secret service. 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.
