Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Answer to O'meara's Napoleon in Exile Or, a Voice From St. Helena: From the Quarterly Review for February, 1822 In our former Numbers we apprized our readers of the plan by which Buonaparte designed to keep himself alive in the public recollection, and to maintain by successive publications the hopes of the disaffected throughout Europe; and we exposed the art with which he contrived to have his agents successively dismissed from St. Helena, that they might, in due order, contribute their respective quotas to the series of libels, by which the world was to be persuaded to tolerate the return of Buonaparte himself. First came the fabricated Letters of that poor bungler Warden, reviewed in our Thirty-first Number: - then we had Signor Santini's Appeal to Europe; and the Letter by Buonaparte himself, (under the name of Montholon.) reviewed in our Thirty-second Number. We then foretold 'that Las Cases would be next sent home, with a crown of martyrdom on his head, and a budget of Buonapartiana at his back: ' this accordingly happened, and the result was, that worthy gentleman's 'Letters from the Cape of Good Hope, with Extracts from the Great Work now compiling for publication under the inspection of Napoleon.' - Upon these letters we did ample justice in our Thirty-fourth Number.
