Full Leather. Condition: Poor. No Jacket. Full calf leather. 396 pp. With 2 illustrated plates depicting battle scenes. LACKING any frontispiece illustration of fold out print of Waterloo that may have been included. Drawn from the work of Comte Las Cases, this work chronicles Napoleon Bonaparte's rise to power following the French Revolution, discussing the Napoleonic Wars and various campaigns he conducted, including Waterloo and the Russian Campaign, his potential sailing to America, as well as his final exile and death on St. Helena. Comte De Las Cases was a noted French writer and atlas maker, who accompanied Napoleon in his exile at St. Helena. During this time he took notes of the conversations and day to day life of Napoleon in exile, publishing them upon his eventual return from the island.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. MEMOIRS OF THE LIFE EXILE AND CONVERSATIONS OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON 4 VOLUMES 1883. I tried finding reference copies of this book online but only came up with orphan volumes, some older and some newer. No sets like this one were found. Listed here: Memoirs of the Life, Exile, and Conversations of the Emperor Napoleon by the Count de Las Cases. This four-volume set of small hard cover books (5 ¼ x 7 ¾ inches, 400 pages or more in each volume) was published by A.C. Armstrong & Son of New York dated 1883. The books are bound in finely pebbled, dark blue cloth with embossed framing on the covers and gilt titles on the spine. Each book has a Frontispiece and four other illustrations (see the photo of the List of Illustrations). Condition: This set of four books is in very good condition. There is some wear to the boards including some rubbing to the finishes and bumping to the corners and spine tips but nothing extreme. The digital camera is more critical than the human eye and tends of show blemish that are not really visible. There are a few dog-eared pages and the map in Volume 2 is misfolded and its edge cracked and lightly soiled. There is a narrow tide line suggesting the books were once wet but I suspect it was condensation rather than actual contact with water given its very marginal extent. No text or illustrations are affected by these very narrow lines. All the hinges are intact and the bindings are tight and sound. These books are not ex-library or remainders. Language: ENG.
