    About this ebook

    Richard Whately (1787–1863) was an English rhetorician, academic, logician, philosopher, theologian, and economist. Written when he lived in Oxford, his tract “Historic Doubts Relative to Napoleon Buonaparte” is a witty jeu d'ésprit aimed at excessive scepticism of Gospel history. First published in 1819, this book is highly recommended for those with an interest in Napoleon Buonaparte and European history in general. Contents include: “The Death of Napoleon, by Isaac Mclellan”, “Preface to Later Edition”, “Historic Doubts Relative to Napoleon Buonaparte”, “Postscript to the Third Edition”, “Postscript to the Seventh Edition”, “Postscript to the Ninth Edition”, “Postscript to the Eleventh Edition”, “Postscript to the Twelfth Edition”, and “Footnotes in the Original”. Other notable works by this author include: “Thoughts on the Sabbath” (1832), “Charges and Tracts” (1836), and “Essays on Some of the Dangers to Christian Faith” (1839). Read & Co. Books is proudly republishing this collection work now in a new edition complete with an introductory poem by Isaac Mclellan.
