First Consul is disturbed by lack of popularity
Walter Savage Landor was an English poet who visited France during the Peace of Amiens.
Then there was Walter Savage Landor, who started with admiration for Napoleon, but found "not an atom of liberty left." He witnessed the festival in the Tuileries gardens in honour of the life-consulate, and he wrote to his brother: "I expected that the sky would have been rent with acclamations. On the contrary, he (Bonaparte) experienced such a reception as was given to Richard Ill. He was sensibly mortified. All bowed, but he waved to and fro, and often wiped his face with his handkerchief. He retired in about ten minutes."

[This book is mostly about the English visitors, their families, etc., and not much about Napoleon; at least not yet.]
