An Interesting Book.

A very valuable book which once belonged to Napoleon the Great was discovered among some of the volumes of the Riant Collection at the Library when these were being classified recently. The book is a copy of Tasso's "Jerusalem De ivered," translated by Lebrun from the Italian into French, and supplemented by a biographical sketch of Tasso. The book is in two volumes, illustrated by several ngravings, and was printed in Paris by Bossanger in 1803; it is bound in calf, and on the covers are the imperial eagles, and, stamped in gold, the word "Fontainebleau." From the library of the palace of Fontainebleau, the book was carried to Elba by the Emperor Napoleon, and was afterwards given by him to the doctor of the island, who assisted Napoleon in his return to France.
