KEMBLE, James. NAPOLEON St Helena During Napoleon's Exile : Gorrequer's Diary. With Introduction, Biographies, Notes and Explanations, and Index of Pseudonyms.
Heinemann, London , 1969,
KEMBLE, James. St Helena During Napoleon's Exile : Gorrequer's Diary. With Introduction, Biographies, Notes and Explanations, and Index of Pseudonyms.London : Heinemann, (1969). First Edition. Pp [i]-ix,(1),[1]-297,(1),+ 8 p p plates. Map. 8vo, blue cloth, gilt lettering to spine. “Major Gideon Gorrequer, a British soldier of Huguenot stock, was aide-de-camp and acting military secretary to Sir Hudson Lowe, the Governor of St Helena during Napoleon's banishment. Many records of those years were written and published in French and in English both by those who shared their Emperor's exile and byothers including those responsible for keeping him there. Not unnaturally, such accounts were often partisan in their approach. Gorroquer also kept a diary, not for the purpose of publication, but frequently it seems in orde r to vent his feelings about that enclosed society, heavy with suspicion and crackling with highly-charged jealousies. So as to permit himself perhapsgreater freedom of speech and frankness of criticism, Gorrequer concealed the identities of those about whom he wrote under pseudonyms. Lowe, for example, appears as mach (presumably Machiavelli), Lady Lowe as Sultana, and Napoleon as Neighbour.” - from the dj. Name, else very good in slightly nicked, unclipped dustjacket. 25.00
