Life of Napoleon II

Walter Scott (1771-1832) was a Scottish historical novelist, poet, and playwright. Although he was an advocate and legal administrator by profession, Scott is most famous for his great literary works and activities in the Royal Highland Society. As the title suggests, "Life of Napoleon" is a monumental biographical work representing the study of France during the Napoleonic Era. In an attempt to convey an accurate picture of events, Sir Walter Scott visited the Waterloo, and also interviewed officers engaged in the battle. The book is also based on The British governments to archives dealing with Napoleon's exile in St. Helena.
