OF THE SURRENDER OF BUONAPARTE AND OF HIS RESIDENCE ON BOARD H.M.S. BELLEROPHON; WITH A DETAIL OF THE PRINCIPAL EVENTS THAT OCCURRED IN THAT SHIP, BETWEEN THE 24th OF MAY AND THE 8th OF AUGUST, 1815. BY CAPTAIN F. L. MAITLAND, C. B. LONDON: PUBLISHED BY HENRY COLBURN, NEW BURLINGTON STREET. SOME explanation seems called for, when, after a lapse of eleven years, I present to the Public my Narrative of the reception. and residence of Napoleon Buonaparte on board H. M. S. Bellerophon; as it will naturally be asked, why it has been so many years in seeing the light, and from what cause it makes its appearance at this particular period. |
