AQ24620s.i.: s.n. s.d. c. 1850 Single sheet printed on one side only. A trifle creased. Small tear to beginning of first line of text without loss of sense. An apparently unrecorded slip song lamenting the fate of Napoleon. The ballad casts the emperor as a flawed and tragic hero betrayed by those whom he trusted and ultimately abandoned yet ever gallant despite defeat. The final verse rejoices in the return of his remains from St. Helena to Paris in 1840: 'The bones of brave Napoleon that lay mouldering in the grave / In that great city of Paris a tomb has been erected / So splendidly to contain his ashes and his heart / Rich and poor who go that way do joyfully tribute pay / To the immortal memory of Napoleon Bonaparte'. The Bodleian Libraries Broadside Ballads Online records an entirely different setting of the song Bod21485 Roud Number: V497. . Dimensions 110 x 260 mm. [s.n.], [s.d., c. 1850] unknown

1844053992Cairo Kahire-Bulaq: Bulaq Printing House. Hegira: 1260 1844. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. n original cloth bdg. Large roy. 8vo. 25 x 17 cm. In Ottoman script. 90 p. Hegira: 1260 = Gregorian: 144. First only and extremely rare Ottoman Turkish translation and 'Bulaq Edition' of this account of Napoleon described as 'Extrait du Memorial de Sainte-Helene. The Bulaq or El-Amiriya Press is the first official and governmental printing press to be established in Egypt and function according to industrial printing basis causing not just a qualitative but also a quantitative and knowledgeable leap in science throughout the Arab region. The Bulaq Press was part of Mohamed Aly's inclusive development plans for the modernization of Egypt. The Khedive first initiated his plans by establishing a strong Egyptian army; one that is capable of strengthening his grip on the country. It thus became essential that this army be provided with the necessary instructive and educational books and material by which to learn military plans and techniques as well as the different types of artillery and laws that define a soldier's duties and rights. A pressing need eventually developed for establishing a governmental press; one that should provide such material. By 1815 CE. Mohamed Aly initiated the process of bringing the art of printing to Egypt by sending the first official delegation headed by Nicole El Masabki to Milan in Italy to learn the principles of printing. The same delegation was later able to return and establish the first official press in Egypt. This rare and unusual book published and printed in Bulaq Press shortly after the foundation of the printing house. After his final defeat at Waterloo and his subsequent second exile Napoleon Bonaparte spent 10 weeks on board the HMS Northumberland as it sailed him to the far-flung reaches of the South Atlantic. His destination was St. Helena a small and windswept island under British control. Almost 2000 kilometers west of Africa St. Helena measured only 122 square kilometers 47 square miles - half the size of his former home-in-exile Elba. His intended home Longwood was not finished by the time he arrived and so Bonaparte stayed with a British family - the Balcombes- at their residence The Briars. He made a great friend of the family's younger daughter Betsy and the pair got on famously. Napoleon was given very few privileges. Once he met a slave and desired to free him the English government denied his request on the grounds that he was trying to align with the slaves and start an insurrection. Napoleon spent most of his days dictating his memoirs to his generals reading plays novels and the latest books from Europe that his captors would allow him. He spent six years there though there are really only anecdotes to describe his life at the time which for the most part carry expressions of loneliness and boredom. Extremely rare.
