Historical documents recently exhibited in Britain revealed for the first time that Napoleon Bonaparte was keen to learn English during his exile.

It was evident that the deposed French emperor wanted to learn the language of his enemies so that he could read the London newspapers about him.

Several scraps of paper from which Napoleon studied English while imprisoned on St. Helena will be on display at the National Maritime Museum in London on Thursday.

There are also a few lines of stumbling English translated from French.

Count Emmanuel Cass wrote in his memoirs that Napoleon was very eager to learn languages. After the defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, the Earl of Cass was exiled to St. Helena along with Napoleon.

According to Count Cass, Napoleon began his first English lessons on January 17, 1816, when Napoleon asked Cass to dictate a few sentences in French, which he then translated into English with the help of a dictionary and a list of auxiliary verbs.

Historian Dr. Peter Hicks notes that Cass described in his memoirs that Napoleon hated sitting down to study like a student, but forced himself to learn English.

Dr. Hicks said: "He did not resist the English language, he fought with England simply because England was an enemy of France." ”

He added: "The French were surprised to learn that Napoleon was learning English, but he didn't study for fun. He wondered how much he could save on translation fees if he learned English. ”

The historical documents will be on display at the Greenwich Museum's Nelson and Napoleon exhibition, commemorating the 200th anniversary of Nelson's heroic martyrdom at the Battle of Trafalgar.

Also on display are a large number of letters, paintings and personal belongings borrowed from galleries and museums in Europe.

These scraps of paper, which Dr. Hicks called "rather extraordinary" for learning English, were borrowed from the Napoleonic Society in Paris.
