| Item Description | Note from James Mackintosh to Skinner about the poem 'Napoleon in Exile'. It reads: 'I think this should be recited before your beautiful piece the 3rd, 4th & 5th verses were added after the others appeared in the "Journal". J.M." 'Journal' refers to the publication 'The People's Journal' which twenty years later was to serialise autobiographical excerpts by Skinner. There is also a note from Skinner to the engraver, to stress that the words are on no account to be sung: 'Engraver - Words under melody - not in Song form No No.' |
