A Narrative Of Events Connected With The First Abdication Of The Emperor Napoleon: His Embarkation At Frejus And Voyage To Elba, On Board His Majesty's Ship Undaunted by Captain Sir Thomas Ussher. This memoir, drawn from the author’s experience as a Royal Navy captain aboard the Undaunted, recounts the events surrounding Napoleon Bonaparte’s first abdication in 1814 and the emperor’s embarkation to Elba. Ussher describes encounters with Napoleon at Marseilles, Frejus, and St. Tropez, the voyage across the Mediterranean, and the delicate negotiations with Allied envoys and British officers. The journal traces the emperor’s reception aboard the Undaunted, his discussions on ships, strategy, and commerce, and the political context of the period, including the subsequent passage to Elba and the broader Napoleonic saga. The volume also includes appendices and later recollections by Col. Laborde detailing Elba to Paris. Overall, the work blends naval adventure with historical biography and firsthand observation of a pivotal moment in European history.
