8vo. pp. xviii, 215, [1]ads. with half-title. later half chagrin, t.e.g. (scattered foxing). Second Edition. Partly written in response to an anonymous pamphlet entitled Facts Illustrative Of The Treatment Of Napoleon Bonaparte which had attempted to vindicate the actions of Governor Lowe in relation to allegations against him made by O Meara. O Meara had refused to pass information to Lowe regarding Napoleon, whom he attended as physician at St. Helena. Lowe insisted that O Meara be dismissed from his post, and this was effected when independent evidence of O Meara s intrigues reached Lord Bathurst. When O Meara sent a letter to the Admiralty instinuating that Napoleon s life was not safe in Lowe s hands, his name was stricken from the list of naval surgeons.
