IN compliance with the general wish expressed by the numerous subscribers to this interesting Work, (two editions of which has been sold with unexampled rapidity) the Publishers are induced to offer a Continuation of the Life and Campaigns of Bonaparte; which will be brought down to June, 1814, before which time, it is probable, that the present eventful conflict will be terminated.
