This Is A New Release Of The Original 1862 Edition.
Francois-Ferdinand-Philippe-Louis-Marie d'Orleans, Prince de
Joinville (14 August 1818 - 16 June 1900) was the third son of
Louis Philippe, duc d'Orleans, afterwards king of the French and
his wife Marie Amalie of Bourbon-Sicilies. He was notable as an
admiral of the French Navy. He was born at the Chateau de Neuilly,
in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. Educated for the Navy, he became
lieutenant in 1836. His first conspicuous service was at the
Bombardment of San Juan de Ulua, in November 1838, commanding the
Creole, when he headed a landing party and took the Mexican general
Mariano Arista prisoner with his own hand at Veracruz. He was
promoted to captain, and in 1840 was entrusted with the charge of
bringing the remains of Napoleon from Saint Helena to France.

They undertook the exclusive care of the exhumation and transport
of the remains over British territory, and it was all done with the
utmost propriety. The only request I made and obtained was, that
the coffin should be opened before it was handed over to us, so as
to be sure that we were taking neither a hotbed of infection nor an
imaginary corpse on board.
