Excerpt from The Illness and Death of Napoleon Bonaparte: A Medical Criticism
If an apology be needed for adding to the somewhat overloaded bookshelves of Napoleonic literature, it may be urged that the consideration of the fatal illness of Napoleon from a medical standpoint is necessary on account of the complexity of the subject and the difficulties encountered in arriving at a correct interpretation of the facts.
While writing for the professional reader the requirements of all students of the St. Helena period have been kept in mind, and an attempt has been made to cast the views expressed in a form which, it is hoped, will be comprehended by all.
Thanks are due to Dr. H. D. Rolleston for many valuable criticisms and suggestions, and to Dr. H. G. Adamson for having drawn the diagrams.
