This Work, which is equally distinguished by its spirit
and its ingenuity, was given to the Publisher with an
assurance of its being brought from St. Helena, though an
air of mystery was affectedly thrown round the mode of its
conveyance.
Whether it be really written by Buonaparte, or by some
confidential friend, is a matter that must be left
entirely to conjecture. It bears some resemblance to his
style, more to his manner, and is altogether just what the
ostensible Author, or an able apologist under his name,
might be expected to say of his opinions, motives, and
actions.

1. F.
1. F. 1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread

"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a

your equipment.

LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE

LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR

written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with
the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
opportunities to fix the problem.
