This is a compilation of Napoleon Bonaparte's reminiscences while in exile on the island of St. Helena. The book, when published, caused quite a sensation in France.
The text is available here; unfortunately, it is a scan of an old and yellowed copy: https://archive.org/details/memorialdesainte00lasc/page/n5

All four volumes of this work are now available (and MUCH more readable) on Project Gutenberg:

This looks very interesting! (Also very long) Still, to read some of Napoleon's own words... I didn't know he suffered from sea-sickness!
