Description: Two volumes. Octavo, contemporary three-quarter brown morocco, gilt-stamped spines, raised bands, marbled boards and endpapers, top edges gilt. Some rubbing to the boards, but a very good attractive set now housed in a cloth slipcase. FIRST EDITION of this revealing portrait of Napoleon by his surgeon and close confidant O'Meara, with engraved frontispiece portrait. O'Meara was surgeon on board the Bellerophon when it received Napoleon in 1815. Bonaparte was attracted by the doctor's ability to speak Italian, and when his own surgeon declined to follow him into exile, he asked that O'Meara accompany him to St. Helena as his medical attendant. The admiralty readily permitted O'Meara to join the emperor, hoping that he would serve as a sort of spy, but O'Meara alienated himself from the admiralty and became partisan on behalf of Napoleon and was eventually dismissed from his post. His account of Napoleon in exile was tremendously popular and quickly went through five editions and two editions of the French translation. The work remains an important primary source for Napoleon's final years. Despite going through many editions, the first edition is now notoriously scarce.
