Spine perished boards detached some spotting and light browning generally at front and back else a very good copy with the stamp of R. F. Pozzolini on half-title. 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.
