The Irish physician Barry O\u2019Meara (1786-1836) was medical attendant to Napoleon at St Helena from 1815 until he resigned from his post in July 1818 (as the result of strong differences of opinion with the Governor, Sir Hudson Lowe), and he was expelled from the island by Lowe. On his return to England O\u2019Meara sent a letter to the Admiralty, insinuating that Napoleon\u2019s life was not safe in Lowe\u2019s hands, and then published&nbsp;<em>Napoleon in Exile<\/em>&nbsp;in 1822, which created a sensation, especially because of O\u2019Meara\u2019s denouncement of the treatment meted out to Napoleon by Lowe and the British government. Its publication was eagerly awaited, and the appearance of the first edition of 2,000 sets in July 1822 \u2018caused so much stir and was so much in demand that arrangements had to be made to keep those requiring copies in a long file to prevent [Simpkin &amp; Marshall\u2019s] shop being overcrowded, purchasers being so numerous that they could not be supplied with sufficient despatch. The crowd of buyers were made to pass through the shop in Stationers\u2019 Hall Court, and to prevent confusion had to pass out through Amen Corner\u2019 (J. Shaylor,&nbsp;<em>The Fascination of Books, with other Papers on Books &amp; Bookselling<\/em>&nbsp;(London, 1912), p. 207).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2901_11.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2901_11.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2901_11-176x300.jpeg 176w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2901_11-206x350.jpeg 206w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>O\u2019Meara was praised by Byron in \u2018The Age of Bronze\u2019 (1823) as \u2018[t]he stiff surgeon who maintain\u2019d his cause \/ Hath lost his place and gain\u2019d the world\u2019s applause\u2019, and five editions of his book had appeared by the end of 1822. Nonetheless \u2013 despite its popularity with Napoleon\u2019s supporters due to its portrayal of Lowe as \u2018spiteful, arbitrary, and&nbsp;vindictive\u2019 \u2013&nbsp;<em>Napoleon&nbsp;in Exile<\/em>&nbsp;\u2018was received with scepticism, not least because of inconsistencies between it and earlier accounts by O\u2019Meara\u2019 (ODNB). Although it later became evident that O\u2019Meara had overstated his case, the work remains an important primary source for Napoleon\u2019s final years, and&nbsp;the&nbsp;English edition of&nbsp;<em>Napoleon in Exile&nbsp;<\/em>was followed by translations into French (1822), German (1822), Dutch (1822), and Spanish (1827). This fourth English edition contains the \u2018Preface to the Second Edition\u2019, which explains that \u2018[t]his Edition has been carefully revised, a few verbal inaccuracies corrected, and a new Engraving added of a drawing from the statue presented to me by Napoleon on my leaving St. Helena\u2019 (I, p.

Philips. Philips was educated at Rugby School and Manchester College (the successor of Joseph Priestley\u2019s Warrington Academy and the predecessor of the University of Oxford\u2019s present-day Harris Manchester College), before embarking upon a career in business and politics. In 1845 Philips married Anna Yates, and, following her death in 1851, he married Anna\u2019s cousin Mary Ellen Yates in 1856. The bookplates in this set show the Philips arms with the Yates arms as an escutcheon of pretence, indicating that the bookplates postdate Philips\u2019s first marriage in 1845. Philips was appointed a Deputy Lieutenant of Lancashire in 1853 and a Deputy Lieutenant of Warwickshire in 1855, and Sheriff of Lancashire in 1856, holding the position until 1857, when he was elected the Member of Parliament for Bury. At the General Election of 1859 Philips stood down, but in 1865 he was elected for Bury once more, and held the seat until he retired from parliament at the 1885 General Election. Philips\u2019s grandson, the historian G.M. Trevelyan, later recalled him as \u2018a merchant and politician of the old school, a strenuous supporter of Free Trade and Reform, a Unitarian but not a precisian, giving the impression of a hearty squire of the old world rather than of a follower of Cobden as he actually was. He was a born electioneer, and my father\u2019s first sight of him was as he sat in his shirt sleeves at the table in Gladstone\u2019s Committee Rooms, ordering the Lancashire politicians about like a captain on the quarter-deck in action\u2019 (G.M. Trevelyan,&nbsp;<em>Sir George Otto Trevelyan. A Memoir<\/em>&nbsp;(London, 1932), p. 78).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the note on the illustrations gives instructions to the binder for placing the plates (<em>cf<\/em>. I, pp. [v]-vi), in this set three of the four plates have been bound differently, with the frontispieces in reverse order, and the lithograph of Longwood facing the key to it (rather than in the second volume). These three plates are often found in this order in other sets, presumably because the full-length figure of Napoleon was felt to be a more suitable frontispiece for the first volume and it was much more logical to have the key to the lithograph of Longwood facing the plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kircheisen 4141.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u00a3295<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\" style=\"letter-spacing:0.5px\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.typeandforme.com\/product\/barry-omeara-napoleon-in-exile-1822\/\" style=\"background-color:#003b7a\"><strong>Order this book from the Type &amp; Forme Shop<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"letter-spacing:0.5px\">Our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/index.php\/terms-conditions-of-sale\/\">Terms &amp; Conditions<\/a>&nbsp;apply.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6653,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33,65,38,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-africa","category-all-books","category-europe","category-travel"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Barry O&#039;Meara: Napoleon in Exile, 1822 - from the library of Robert N.
