Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Napoleon´s Captivity in Relation to Sir Hudson Lowe As my small book, "Sir Hudson Lowe and Napoleon," published in 1898, has now been for some time out of print, I have thought it better to rewrite it, incorporating any new matter that might be necessary to bring the subject up to date. This is therefore practically a new book dealing with the same subject as the previous volume. I have derived much information about the earlier life of Sir Hudson Lowe from the proof-sheets of Sir Harris Nicolas - kindly lent me by Miss Lowe - for his intended "History of the Captivity." After the premature death of Sir Harris Nicolas, whose care and accuracy are well known, the sheets were used to some extent by Mr. Forsyth. I am encouraged to write again by the revival of interest in the St. Helena controversy which has followed the publication of Lord Rosebery´s Napoleon: the Last Phase." The portrait of Sir Hudson Lowe is from a pencil drawing by Wyvill, in the possession of Miss Lowe, made in 1832. This is the only authentic portrait in existence.
