Napoleon in England and the Elba Promise Debate
A fragment from a 19th century disjointed column recalls Napoleon Bonaparte’s transport from the Bellerophon to the Northumberland in August 1816 and public calls to confine him in England. It notes debates over keeping the prisoner near London, with reflections on honor, danger, and public sentiment, and includes contemporaries like Lamb and Southey. Also briefly mentions Servian signaling by cowherds and assorted anecdotes from period magazines and jokes.
