First person account of Napoleon Buonaparte's voyage to the island of St. Helena, by the British naval officer charged with transporting him into exile.  Published from the original manuscript, given to the publishers by Captain J.F. Brookhouse of Salem, Massachusetts, who lived in St. Helena at the time of Napoleon's arrival.  

The publisher captures the importance of this eye-witness account thus:  "[Admiral Cockburn's] conversations with Napoleon are given with much spirit, and acquaint us with facts and opinions that possess uncommon interest, and which throw much new light upon the history and character of the most remarkable man of modern times." (Preface, pg. viii)
