I From the SATURDAY REVIEW , February 21 , 1880 . I < 0 f the three volumes which are to contain the memoirs of Madame de R 4 musat , two have I leen published , and , of these two , one and a half have been translated into English . The I translatio n is unusually well done , being remarkably free from the stiffness and the foreign I air which mark most translations . Nor can anyone doubt that these memoirs deserved to be I tra nslated , and to be well translated , into English . < They are entertaining ; they bear on a subject of permanent interest—the character and ] ybjts of Napoleon What between the text and the notes , these volumes are eminently readable , and those who have gone as far as what has now been published will take them will concur in eagerly looking for the completion of the task which 1 u . de Re ' inusat and his very efficient translators have set themselves .
