Mangoni was a Neapolitan priest, who published in 1834 a diffuse, thoughinteresting history of Capri. His Bicherohe Storiohe sull isola di Capri * isinteresting ; but, it is inaccurate. See Three Monographs, of which 250copies were printed in 1906, and published by Luigi Pierro, 402 Via Koma, CAPTURE OF CAPRI 131 were very partial to the English, because under theirrule an extensive contraband trade^ was carried onwith the mainland, it is natural that the sympathies ofthe Capriotes should have been contrary to the French,who put an end to this trade, and thus deprived theislanders of a large revenue. Colletta commenced hishistory in 1825, and finished it in 1830. Many of theminor details of this expedition had escaped his memory,but in the main he was mostly correct. A man of hishigh position would not purposely deceive, thoughit is possible that the bitterness of exile, and thepersecution of the Bourbons, may have tempted him toexaggerate the gallantry of his friends, who were theenemies of the Bourbons. The English in England werenot at all satisfied with the conduct of their countrymen,and, while most critics found fault with the fleet, yetit is most probable that the incapacity of Sir HudsonLowe brought about the loss of the island.
