Note 160 — Chapter II
Reading edition
It may be worth noticing, as a link between historic personages, that Napoleon Bonaparte's first piece was a Lettre à Matteo Buttafuoco (1791), the same Buttafuoco with whom Rousseau corresponded, who had been Choiseul's agent in the union of the island to France, was afterwards sent as deputy to the Constituent, and finally became the bitterest enemy of Paoli and the patriotic party.
