by the queen, and all the princes and princesses of the royal family. The ministers and the marshals of the kingdom, the archbishop of Paris with his assistant bishops and clergy, and all the prominent civil and military authorities of France, gathered reverentially around the mausoleum in this last sublime act of a nation's love and gratitude. As the solemn strains of Mozart's Requiem, performed by three hundred musicians floated through the air, all hearts were intensely moved. Thus ended a ceremony which in all the elements of moral sublimity has no parallel.-Abbott's Life of Napoleon Bonaparte.

46. Napoleon's Height, &c. The entire height of the body from the top of the head to the heels was five feet two inches and four lines, equal to five feet six inches, and twenty-two forty-fifths of an inch, the French foot being greater than the English in the proportion of sixteen to fifteen.

The extent from the extremity of the middle finger of one hand to that of the other, was five feet two inches.

The length from the top of the head to the chin was seven inches and six lines.

The circumference of the head was twenty inches and ten lines. The forehead was high, the temples slightly depressed, the sinciput wide and very strongly defined.

I felt a curiosity to examine the head of this great man according to the craniological system of Drs. Gall and Spurzheim, the following are the signs which were most apparent on it: 1. Organ of dissimulation. 2. Organ of conquests. 3. Organ of kindness and benevolence. 4. Organ of imagination. 5. Organ of ambition and love of glory. Of intellectual faculties I found: 1. Organ of individuality. 2. Organ of locality, the relation of space. 3. Organ of calculation. 4. Organ of comparison. 5. Organ of causality, of the faculty of induction, of a philosophical head.—Antommarchi's Last Days of Napoleon, vol. 2, pp. 163-5.
