The first edition published the preceding year. Frontispiece portrait folding facsimile showing Napoleon's writing plate of medal struck on Napoleon's marriage. 1 vols. 8vo. Napoleon at St. Helena. Warden was a Surgeon on the Northumberland which conveyed Napoleon to St. Helena. During the voyages and for time at Saint Helena Warden attended Napoleon.¶ The subject matter and criticism of the work sold many editions in the first year. The populace did not like the favorable depiction of Napoleon and the military and literary audience determining that Warden could not have been present at some of the things described took exception to his claims. Warden's French not being strong and his translator the Count de la Cases' English being confused in conveying Napoleon's comments apparently created discrepancies in the conversations as Napoleon later said that his conversations with Warden were quite different.

An extraordinary letter of historic significance written a mere two days after the Treaty of Fontainebleau of April 11 1814 which set the terms of Napoleon's abdication and ended an era. Dupont had been one of Napoleon's most distinguished generals but his surrender in the disastrous Spanish campaign led to disgrace and imprisonment. After the fall of Napoléon Dupont became Minister of War for Louis XVIII and in just such letters as this to Marshal Victor - one of Napoleon's most trusted generals - negotiated the acquiescence of Napoléon's military leaders: in translation "Monsieur le Maréchal; - The provisional government has read with intense interest the declaration in which your Excellency has announced his adherence to the act of the Senate pronouncing the abdication of Napoleon Buonaparte and the restoration of the Bourbons on the throne on their ancestors. By this declaration taken in the interest of the country your Excellency has established anew a claim to the gratitude of the French people as well as the respect and good will of His Majesty Louis XVIII. Such is the opinion sir of the provisional government - and I am more than happy to be its messenger on this memorable occasion". unknown books
