NAPOLEON'S ACTIONS,

Opinions of the Press.

"These anecdotes of Napoleon are the best yet given to the world, because the most Intimate and familiar."-London Literary Gazette.

"We consider the performance now before us as more authentic and amusing than any ether of its kind."—London Quarterly Review.

"Every thing relating to Napoleon is eagerly sought for and read in this country as well as in Europe, and this work, with its extraordinary attractions, will not fail to command a wido circulation. Madame Junot possessed qualifications for writing a semi-domestic history of the great Corsican which no other person, male or female, could command."--Life Illustrated,

Criticisms of the Press.

"The author is a literary gentleman of Baltimore, no Abolitionist, and we believe th work to be a truthful account of the life of a man who saw much more than falls to the lot of most men."-Commonwealth.

"A remarkable volume is this; because of its undoubted truth: it having been derived by Mayer from personal conversations with Canot, and from journals which the slaver farnished of his own life."-Worcester Palladium.

"Capt. Canot, the hero of the narrative, is, to our own knowledge, a veritable personage, and resides in Baltimore. There is no doubt that the main incidents connected with his extraordinary career are in every respect true. '-Arthur's Home Gazette.

"Under one aspect, as the biography of a remarkable man who passed through a singularly strange and eventful experience, it is as interesting as any sea story that we have ever read."-Boston Evening Traveller.

"Capt. Canot has certainly passed through a life of difficulty, danger, and wild, daring adventure, which has much the air of romance, and still he, or rather his editor, tells the tale with so much straightforwardness, that we cannot doubt its truthfulness."-New York Sunday Despatch.

"The work could not have been better done if the principal actor had combined the descriptive talent of De Foe with the astuteness of Fouche and the dexterity of Gi. Blas, which traits are ascribed to the worthy whose acquaintance we shall soon make by his admiring editor."—N. Y. Tribune.

"The general style of the work is attractive, and the narrative spirited and bold-well suited to the daring and hazardous conrse of life led by the adventurer. This book is illustrated by several excellent engravings."-Baltimore American.

"The biography of an African slaver as taken from his own lips, and giving his adventures in this traffic for twenty years. With great natural keenness of perception and com. plete communicativeness, he has literally unmasked his real life, and tells both what he was and what he saw, the latter being the Photograph of the Negro in Africa, which has been so long wanted. A nephew of Mr. Mayer has illustrated the volume with eight admirable drawings. We should think no book of the present day would be received with so keen an interest."-Home Journal.

"Capt. Canot has passed most of his life since 1819 on the ocean, and his catalogue of adventures at sea and on land, rival in grotesqueness and apparent improbability the marvels of Robinson Crusoe."-Evening Post.

"If stirring incidents, hair-breadth escapes, and variety of adventure, can make a book Interesting, this must possess abundant attractions."-Newark Daily Advertiser.

"This is a true record of the life of one who had spent the greater part of his days in dealing in human flesh. We commend this book to all lovers of adventure."-Boston Christian Recorder.

"We would advise every one who is a lover of books that are books-every one who admires Le Sage and De Foe, and has lingered long over the charming pages of Gil Blas and Robinson Crusoe-every one, pro-slavery or anti-slavery, to purchase this book."... Buffalo Courier
