1854, R. Adm. William Henry Smyth, The Mediterranean: A Memoir Physical, Historical, and Nautical, part I: “A Chorographical View of the Shores of the Mediterranean Sea, with especial reference to their Produce and Commerce”, § 4: ‘The Coast of Western Italy’, pages 22–23:
The Tuscan islands lying opposite to this coast are, Gorgona (Urgo), Capraja (Ægilon), Elba, Giglio (Igilium), Pianosa (Planasia), Monte Christo (Oglasa), and some smaller islets. Of these, Elba (Æthalia sive Ilva) merits a distinct mention on account of its excellent harbours and bays, abundance of iron and other mineral productions, its picturesque beauty of scenery, and its having been allotted by the Congress of Vienna as a Barataria for the fallen Napoleon.
