Napoleon in Exile Elba. By Norwood Young. (Stanley Paul. 21s.

net.)—lt is just a hundred years since Napoleon was forced to shift his Empire from France to Elba, and Mr. Young's conscientious piece of work thus makes a timely appearance, as the present age seems to be keenly interested in centenaries. The Elban episode, as Mr. Young observes, "has not received the attention it deserves," and it is so interesting that we are glad to have this detailed study of its incidents. Mr. Young proposes next year to publish two further volumes, dealing with the exile at St. Helena.
