Years later he read in a news- paper of Napoleon's death at St. Helena, and fainted. Next day he was found wounded with his throat slashed.

He said, "With the death of Napoleon my last hopes have gone." Ney recovered, and by 1830 had settled in North Carolina, spending his leisure in currecting books on the lives of Napoleon and Marshal Ney,

On his deathbed sixteen years later he said: "I am Marshal Ney of France.'

Four fragments of n papyrus' roll of the Book of Deuteronomy, in the Greck version of the Septuagint, which were written in the Second Century B.C., have been found in a collection of Greek papyri in the John Rylands Library, Manchester.
