The Appendix of the original edition has been printed, with an additional Appendix, consisting of (1) a list of the officers serving on board the _Bellerophon_ in July 1815, supplied by the courtesy of the Secretary to the Admiralty; (2) an unpublished letter from one of the assistant-surgeons of the _Bellerophon_, giving an account of Napoleon's surrender, recently acquired by the British Museum; and (3) several extracts from _Memoirs of an Aristocrat, by a Midshipman of the Bellerophon_. This extraordinary book, published in 1838, was written by George Home, son of Lieutenant A. Home, R.N., who on the death of the last Earl of Marchmont claimed the Marchmont peerage. It contained violent attacks on various persons connected with the family of Home of Wedderburn, and in particular on Admiral Sir David Milne of Milne-Graden and Lady Milne. An action was raised against the author and publishers, and damages were awarded against the former. The book was withdrawn from circulation, and is now extremely scarce. Home served as a midshipman on board the _Bellerophon_, and his "hair-brained narrative," as he calls it, adds some interesting details to his captain's record. The frontispiece is from a portrait of Sir Frederick, painted by Samuel Woodford, R.A., and engraved by Henry Meyer. The original is now at Lindores. The portrait of Lady Maitland at page lxviii is from a miniature at Lindores. This is the miniature which hung in the cabin of the _Bellerophon_, and which was seen and commented on by Napoleon. The chart at page 1 is a slightly reduced copy of that in the original edition. The portrait of Napoleon at page 68 is from a sketch made on board the _Bellerophon_ by Colonel Planat, _officier d'ordonnance_ to the Emperor, and given by him to Captain Maitland. Mr Orchardson's well-known picture is reproduced at page 108, by permission of the Fine Art Company. It contains portraits of most of the chief personages of the story. The picture of the _Bellerophon_ at Plymouth at page 132 is reproduced, by permission of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, from the original by J. J. Chalon, R.A., now in the Painted Hall at Greenwich. As is mentioned at page 202 of the Narrative, Napoleon desired to present Captain Maitland with a box containing his portrait set in diamonds. On Maitland's declining, in the circumstances, to accept any present of value, the Emperor begged him to keep as a souvenir a tumbler from his travelling case, bearing the crown and cipher of the Empress Josephine. This relic is still preserved at Lindores. A photograph of it is given at page 202. W. K. D. CONTENTS. PAGE MEMOIR OF SIR FREDERICK MAITLAND xxv NARRATIVE.
