It makes some sense that it would be Bertrand who wrote it if he had indeed translated the book into French.John Tyrrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14840928923304125310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576793257211626923.post-52745090433473359332014-01-15T03:01:03.158+00:002014-01-15T03:01:03.158+00:00Hi John - I've enjoyed reading your blogs imme...Hi John - I've enjoyed reading your blogs immensely! But I thought I’d bring one small thing to your attention.<br />I believe the inscription in the books ‘Coxe’s Life of Marlborough’ was done by Bertrand rather than St Denis. The reason I say this is because I have a book titled ‘Histoire de la Guerre d’Espagne et de Portugal, dated 1817 and in it is the inscription ‘Donne par l’Empereur Napoleon au Cte Bertrand’, the hand being Bertands, and the writing of l’Emperuer is identical to the one in the Coxes volume. I can send you a picture if you like.<br />Cheers<br />Ken RichardsKen Richardshttp://www.frenchempirecollection.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576793257211626923.post-37251626521697929592013-11-29T23:22:00.250+00:002013-11-29T23:22:00.250+00:00Hi Shannon,
