Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Napoleon in Exile, or a Voice From St. Helena, Vol. 2 of 2: The Opinions and Reflections of Napoleon on the Most Important Events of His Life and Government, in His Own Words
Asked the emperor whether it was at Lodi or Arcola that he had seized the standard, and pre cipitated himself among the enemy's troops. He replied, at Arcola, not Lodi. At Arcola I was slightly wounded; but at Lodi no such circum stance occurred. Why do you ask? DO you think me Male said he, laughing. I begged to assure him of my thorough conviction of the con trary, which was too well known to be doubted; and that it was merely to solve a difference of Opinion that had arisen between some of us Eng 'lish who had not the means of procuring at St. Helena any books to satisfy us at which of the two it happened, that I had taken the liberty to ask him. Those things, said he, with a smile, 9' are not worth mentioning.
