Secondly, an article by M. Frédéric Masson in his Autour de Ste. H elene. I shall have occasion to examine critically the latter at considerable length, and at the same time to appraise the value of the former. Thirdly, the Lowe Papers and the Colonial O¿ice Records and those were rich in materials illustrating the St. Helena period, which is partly covered by the Letters, and which I shall be chie¿y concerned with as a whole.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
