In 1815, the British government selected the island of Saint Helena as the place of detention of Napoleon Bonaparte. He was taken to the island in October 1815, staying at the Briars pavilion (plate 4) on the grounds of the Balcombe family's home until his permanent home, Longwood House (plates 6, 7 and 8), was completed. He died there on 5th May 1821. During this period, Saint Helena remained in the East India Company’s possession, but the British government met additional costs arising from guarding Napoleon. The island was strongly garrisoned with British troops, and naval ships circled the island.

Recollections of the Emperor Napoleon, during the first three years of his captivity on the island of St. Helena: including the time of his residence at her father's house, ''The Briars''. By Mrs. Abell.
London: John Murray, Albemarle Street. 1844.
First edition. 8vo, publisher's cloth, gilt-illustrated on front board, blind stamp illustration on back board; illus. title, pp. xii + 244 + 16 (publisher's ads); lithographic frontispiece and five wood-engraved plates, as called for on the 'directions' slip. Spine faded, inner hinges strained, frontis. loose, some foxing throughout.
The remarkable story of the friendship between Napoleon and thirteen-years old Lucia Elizabeth "Betsy" Balcombe (1802-71), daughter of the Superintendent of Public Sales for the East India Company on St Helena and owner of 'The Briars', Napoleon's residence before Longwood was ready. She helped him learn English and kept him amused in exile and he allowed her to call him 'Boney'. Their relationship caused the governor much consternation: he suspected her of smuggling secret messages out of Longwood House. In 1818 the family left St Helena (possibly recalled because of this friendship) and Betsy married Edward Abell in 1821.

Réduction de la carte topographique des environs de St Hubert et de Rambouillet
Réduction de la carte topographique des environs de St Hubert et de Rambouillet [Levée par ordre du roi, par les ingénieurs géographes des camps et marches des armées de sa majesté sous la direction du Sr Berthier, en 1764] pour servir aux chasse de sa Majesté [ink mss.].
Gravé par Guill. De-la-Haye.
[Paris, c.1764.]
Scarce engraved map with original hand colour, two sheets conjoined, dissected and laid on linen, total 560 x 825mm (22 x 32½"). Bookplate ''Ex Libris M.A. Principis Burghesii'' & ink mss title label ''Carte des Chasses de L'Empereur à Rambouilles'' pasted on linen. Original title half scratched out, label with old ink mss. pasted over. Ink stamp of the 'Depot general de la Guerre' in sky of vignette.
Map of the environs of Château de Rambouillet, one of Napoleon's official residences, orientated with north to the bottom right, with a vignette view of Louis XV's hunting lodge, the Château de Saint-Hubert. Scarce with French Royalty connections. Drawn by army engineers under the direction of Jean-Baptiste Berthier and engraved by Guillaume-Nicolas Delahaye, the map was originally published in 1764. This example seems to have been customised c.1810 for Camillo Filippo Ludovico Borghese, husband of Napoleon Bonaparte's sister Pauline, a 'Prince of the French Empire'. Half of the original title has been scratched out and replaced with hand written note 'for the use of his Majesty's hunt'. When Napoleon became emperor in 1804 Rambouillet was one of the residences put at his disposal, using the extensive lands for hunting, for which this map was adapted. (Saint-Hubert was unfinished on the death of Louis XV and had been abandoned) The last time Napoleon stayed at Rambouillet was a week after his second abdication in June 1815, leaving to go into exile on St Helena. At that time Borghese left Pauline and went to Florence.
