ingenious and painstaking enquiries Dr. Arnold Chaplin has discovered a number of portraits of St. Helena celebrities. He has kindly given me leave to reproduce some of them from his indispensable vade-mecum, "A St. Helena Who's Who," 1914. The portraits of Dr. Wilks and Dr. Baxter were provided by Dr. J. F. Silk, the great-nephew of Dr. Baxter; that of Sir Thomas Reade came from Mr. Alleyn Reade; of Major Gorrequer from Mr. G. de Gorrequer Griffith; of Captain Ross from his godson Admiral F. R. Boardman, C.B.; of William Balcombe from his granddaughter Mrs. Emmerton; of Admiral Plampin from his nephew Mr. Orbell W. Oakes; of Dr. Shortt from his grandson Major A. G. Shortt; of Dr. Burton from his granddaughter Mrs. Agg; of Dr. Arnott from his niece Mrs. Arnott Collington. Dr. Chaplin has also furnished me with the coloured frontispiece to the second volume, from a picture in his possession. Mr. G. L. de St. M. Watson, the first writer, since Forsyth, to undertake a serious examination of the Lowe manuscripts -a laborious task-has helped me in various ways. I have also to thank Major Smyth, M.V.O., for assistance with regard to the 20th Regiment, now the Lancashire Fusiliers. References to the Lowe manuscripts are given under the heading B.M. (British Museum). The precursor of this work, "Napoleon in Exile: Elba," was published on the 31st March, 1914, one hundred years after the event with which it commenced, the entry of the Allies into Paris on the 31st March, 1814. These volumes, in like manner, are published on the 1st March, 1915, the centenary of the opening point, the landing of Napoleon near Cannes, on the 1st March, 1815. 1st March, 1915. NORWOOD YOUNG.
