New York and London: Anglo-American Publishing Company, [Undated]. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Price: $6,500.00 TEMPORARILY AVAILABLE AT: $4,850.00 A Very Good sixteen (16) volume set of works on Napoleon Bonaparte comprised of "The Life of Napoleon Bonaparte" in six (6) volumes by Hazlitt [together with] Memoirs of Madame Juno in six (6) volumes, [and] Memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte by Fauvedlet in four (4)volumes. This is the rare Corsican Edition limited to ten (10) numbered copies with this set being number 10 and having a MINISTERE DE L'INTERIEUR INSTRUMENT SIGNED BY LUCIEN BONAPARTE [born Luciano Buonaparte], Napoleon Bonaparte's younger brother (who served as Napoleon's Minister of the Interior from 1799 to 1800) tipped-in to Hazlitt's first volume. [NOTE: The documents facing each Volume's Limitation Page are facsimiles.] Hazlitt was a committed English Napoleonist, Bourienne was Napoleon's school friend in the Military Academy at Brienne in Champagne and the two were friends since age 8, and Madame Junot (the Duchess d'Abrantes) provided a treatment of life at Napoleon's court. The set is bound in three-quarters blue leather with marbled boards with each volume's pastedowns and facing side of the free endpaper marbled as well. Each volume shows some wear to its edges and contains a tissue-guarded frontispiece. This is the smallest limitation of this set known to us and we believe that each set has an original Napoleonic document tipped in and that the limitation is thusly small. [The text of the volumes is in English.] A RARE SET OF WORKS ON NAPOLEON WITH AN ORIGINAL NAPOLEONIC DOCUMENT TIPPED IN. Very good. Item #3644
