This article discusses the book "The Second Empire," by Alfred Neumann. The best pages in the book are those dealing with the plot of Orsini and the Italian policy of the Emperor. The description of both the Empress Engénie and the famous Countess de Castoglione are so in exact, as to be beyond notice. One great fault of the book is that while it is frequently so drawn out that it, becomes confused, it is yet much too short when it comes to the final catastrophe, which destroyed the Second Empire.
