A handwritten fragment of Napoléon’s English lessons

- 1816

Part of Napoléon’s English lessons with Count de Las Cases, this sheet includes several French sentences that he translated, such as, “Quand êtes-vous parti du Cap? When are you departed from the Cap?” Napoléon proved to be an indifferent linguist.
