The Journal de Frankfort publishes the following: "A certificate of studies has been communicated to us, which was delivered at the expiration of the half year 1821-2 to the future Emperor Napoleon III, who was at that time in the fifth class of the College of Sainte-Anne, at Augsburg. The document is as follows:

No. 21. Prince Charles Louis Napoleon, son of the Duke de Saint-Leu, of Rome; born at Paris; belonging to the Catholic religion; aged fourteen years and five months; gifted with many good qualities, in the development of which he has labored with much zeal, so that he has made good advancement in the German language, in Latin, and in arithmetic, and pretty good in Greek and history—in general, therefore, considerable progress. His quiet manner towards his fellow pupils is deserving of praise, as also the respect and gratefulness with which he has accepted even disagreeable tasks. He has the twenty-fourth place; the difficulties of the German language, of which he is not yet master, have prevented him from obtaining a higher rank. Besides he is publicly commended, and he can pass into a superior class.' The certificate for the preceding six months says: 'The pupil possesses an ardent feeling for all that is elevated, good and beautiful; he would have made great progress if illness had not on several occasions prevented him from attending the class.'"
