Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Captivity of Napoleon at St. Helena, Vol. 2 of 3: From the Letters and Journals of the Late Lieut.-Gen. Sir Hudson Lowe, Official Documents Not Before Made Public
A voluminous correspondence now commenced and many interviews took place between Las Cases and Sir Hudson Lowe. The former says in his Journal, referring to this period, that a state of inactivity and passiveness did not agree with the nature of his disposition; and he certainly gave proof of this in the numerous letters which he addressed from Ross Cottage to the Governor, who replied sometimes verbally and sometimes in writing. It will only be necessary to notice the chief points of importance or interest.
Las Cases, in his Journal, conveys the impression that he never received from the Governor the smallest, act of accommodation, nor any return for the efforts which he himself made to conciliate him.
