The First Book Of Napoleon
Michael Linning, Writer to the Signet WS (24 September 1774 - 17 February 1838) was a Scottish solicitor who wrote ''The First Book of Napoleon''. He was the son of Thomas Linning and grandson of the Rev. Thomas Linning, Minister of Lesmahogow. He attended Glasgow College from 1788 to 1793. Author of the First Book of Napoleon ''The First Book of Napoleon'' is a pseudo-biblical work written under the pen name "Eliakim the Scribe". A pre-publication manuscript copy at the State Library of New South Wales identifies Michael Linning as the author.

In February 1810, the British Critic said they readily admitted that the language adopted by this book would be peculiarly effective on the minds of those pious Christians, in humble life, who were accustomed to read and revere their Bibles; ...
