Excerpt from A Gift of Napoleon; Being a Sequel to Letters of Captain Engelbert Lutyens, Orderly Officer at Longwood, Saint Helena, Feb; 1820 to Nov, 1823 Napoleon the First died on May 5th, 1821, aged 51 years, and Eugenie, the widow of Napoleon the Third, died on July 12th, 1920, aged 95 years, the former a prisoner, the latter a guest, of Great Britain and thus, the connection between the First and Second Napoleonic Empires has come to an end within a period of one hundred years, and it seems fitting that there should be reference to the history, and of its makers, touching that period. That is some excuse for the production of this book, with a preface and an index, the former introducing the reader to the subject, like an avenue with its vista, and the latter pointing out the entrances, the exits, and the objects of interest, or the reverse. Except for these few lines, I would ask my readers to accept as the substantial preface the Letters of Captain Engelbert Lutyens l, a book which has been well received.
