The new 200th Anniversary logo shown on the front cover of this issue was designed by Brigade Publishing & Graphic Design which is now doing the design and layout of the journal. It also appears on the autographed book plates we now offer readers who purchase books through Napoleon Journal (see our catalog section beginning on page 81). Napoleon Bonaparte returned from his expedition to Egypt and Syria and became leader of a new government in France through a coup in November 1799. Many historians consider the period from the coup of Brumaire until his defeat at Waterloo and final exile as what Austrian Chancellor Metternich termed the Age of Napoleon. This brings up the interesting question of how to refer to him. Until he crowned himself Emperor Napoleon I in 1804, he was properly known as Bonaparte. Saying "Napoleon in Syria" is therefore technically incorrect. However, we use Napoleon and Bonaparte interchangeably for two reasons. First, our goal is to reach the widest possible audience and more people know him as Napoleon than by his family name. Second, it would be rather monotonous to use only one name in our articles. We hope readers will not take offense if we choose to be flexible.
