(Circa May, 1793.) £250 Written when Captain in the Artillery, and being probably the first draft (incomplete) of Napoleon’s report on the defence of St. Florence. The final report of 18 pp. is in the Fonds' libri Manuscript, and is printed at length in the first edition of Masson’s ‘‘Napoléon Inconnu.’’ Marcaggi refers to the above manu- script in his ‘‘ Genése de Napoléon,’’ which differs considerably from that given in ‘‘ Napoléon Inconnu,’’ notably in the latter portion where this draft assumes the defeat of the defending forces.
