LITERATURE.

STEWART'S VISIT TO THE SOUTH
SEAS. LONDON, 1831.
The numerous writings of the missionaries,
epistolary and otherwise, have made us tolerably
well acquainted with the majority of those vast
clusters of islands which stud the Southern
Seas. But we know not that we have before
met with such minute graphic accounts of the
manners, customs, habits, &c. of these half-ci-
vilized Islanders, as Mr. Stewart, a chaplain in
the United States Navy, has here furnished us
with. He seems to have scrutinized every
thing that presented the aspect of novelty, with
the most rigid attention ; to have compared,
combined, explained statements hitherto irrecon-
cileable, and sought for information under cir-
cumstances of the most discouraging tendency.
The consequences of this enterprising diligence
are a brace of volumes, full of knowledge, full
of incident, full of character, and we may add,
full of entertainment. The accounts of the
Georgian and Society Islands, with their schools
and missionary stations, are those portions of the
work which, we conceive, will be read with the
greatest satisfaction : but besides these, Mr.
Stewart has presented us with descriptive and
characteristic sketches of Brazil, Peru, Manilla,
the Cape of Good Hope, and above all, of that
island of islands, St. Helena. We quote his
account of Napoleon's last resting place, and of
the filthy log hut, erected by the generosity of
the British Cabinet, for the express accommoda-
tion of an Emperor and a heto, at Longwood.
The subject is hacknied, but will bear repetition :
" The grave is surrounded by a double enclosure ; the
first, of wooden pales in a dark paint, is a widely sweep-
ing circle, enclosing the four willows overhanging it ; and
the other a square of about twelve feet of plain iron rail-
ing, marking the imasediate dimensions of the tomb itself.
This consists of three large flag-stones of granite, taken for
the purpose from the hearth of the kitchen in New Long-
wood, laid without any inscription, in substantial ma-
sonry, at an elevation of a few inches only above the
ground ; a monument rude and unadorned, and in good
keeping with the end of the ill-fated exile on whose bosom
it presses.
" After examining every point of interest, drinking of
the water of the spring, securing slips from the willows,
inscribing our names in an album in care of the keeper,
and musing on the career and fate of the conqueror over
the little space of earth that alone of all his kingdoms is
retained in his possession, we remounted our horses, and
returning to the public road, proceeded round the head of
the ravine by Huts' Gate to Longwood.
" The lodges and gates are a quarter of a mile or more
from the house. The drive from them is straight
and unadorned, except by a few straggling gum-trees, and
for the last few rods ascends gradually to the site of the
buildings. The horse I rode had been at no very remote
period a famous racer. At different times during the ride
from James Town, he had manifested some desire to give
a specimen of his fleetness, and the moment of passing the
gate, probably from the frequency of his visits and fami-
liarity with the ground, started at fall speed with me, and
had my accoutrements been at all similar, I should have
arrived at Longwood much in the plight in which Gilpin
found himself on the anniversary of his wedding on alight-
ing at Ware. The only result in this case, however, was
a separation for the time front my companions, by which
I had an opportunity of looking round me for a few mo-
ments while they were coming up, after having committed
my horse to the care of one of three or four urchins, ever
ready on the ground for such employment, in the (Lily
visits which the plantation now receives from strangers
calling at the island.
" The general aspect of the establishment is that of an
ordinary, shabby farm-house of stone, meanly stuccoed and
irregularly built—the whole being in bad repair. Long
ranges of sheds for cattle, painted of a dismal colour, line
two sides of a large square cow-yard in which it is situated,
while a third is formed by the kitchens, and offices of the
principal house. The approach through this dirty en-
closure, as a lawn, did not promise much for the interior ;
but I must confess that when, on being u'hered from it
through a door opening on the ground, with the announce-
ment ' this was the bed-room and dressing-room of the
Emperor,'—l found myself in a small, dark, and filthy
stable, occupied by half a dozen horses, swarming with
flies, and teeming with impurity. I could scarce sup-
press a flush of indignant feeling, at the contempt and
degradation which appeared thus unnecessarily to be cast
upon the illustrious, though perhaps justly unfortunate and
unhappy, dead.
" I never was a warm admirer of the character of
Bonaparte—whik yet in early infancy, he had exchanged
the greenness of his consular laurels for the glitter of his
diadem ; and in the days of my boyish politics, when his
sceptre was extending widely over Europe, 1 regarded him
principally as the proud usurper, whose ambition it was to
triumph over the kingdoms of the earth, till he should be-
come the Dictator of the world. But who has not ad-
mired the power of genius that raised him to his glory ?
Who did not feel some sympathy, at least in the depth of
his fall? Who did not commiserate him in the distance
and desolateness of his exile ? and who, with the vivid im-
pressions of the wretchedness and discomfort of his cap-
tivity, forced upon them by the scene in the midst of which
we now were, would not be disposed to believe every
charge of unkindness and oppression that has been pre-
ferred against his keepers? However different the state
of the establishment might have been when inhabited by
Napoleon, all the associations of a visitor with his shad-
tion during the time, take their colour from what is seen;
and the rooms should have been preserved in the condition
in which they were left, or the whole should have been
rased to the ground.
" The next apartment we entered is that in which he
d'ed. It had been used as a writing-room and library ;
and he was removed to it, after becoming seriou-ly ill, for
the benefit of a more free circulation of air. It is small,
with two windows on one side, between which the bed
on which he expired was placed. A threshing machine,
festooned with cobwebs, is now its only furniture ; and
not only the paper in which it was once hung, but the
plaster, and even parts of the wall itself, have been carried
away by the numerous visitors since his death.
" On one side of this is the dining-room—a low, dark,
and uncomfortable corner of the building—and in front of
it, the new wooden part put up after his arrival at St.
Helena, consisting of two rooms connected by folding
doors, one for billiards, and the other dignified by the
name of a drawing-room, but neither equal in size or style
to a parlour in most common farm-houses in the United
States."
