Couverture souple. Condition: Bon. JOURNAL DE LA CAMPAGNE DE WATERLOO JOURNAL DE CAMPAGNE D UN OFFICIER D ARTILLERIE ANGLAIS EN JUIN 1815 Par CAVALIE ALEXANDER MERCER EDITIONS PLON, 1933 BROCHE, 269 PAGES TRADUIT DE L ANGLAIS ILLUSTRE DE 8 GRAVURES ET 2 CROQUIS Brillant officier d artillerie ayant combattu lors de l expédition britannique du Rio de la Plata en Amérique du Sud, Cavalié-Alexander MERCER ( 1783-1868), débarque à Ostende le 13 avril 1815 avec sa batterie et cantonne à Strytem, Gand et Nivelles. Au soir du 16 juin, après la bataille des Quatre-Bras il couvre la retraite anglaise. Il joue un rôle très actif à Waterloo ou grâce à son courage et à sa ténacité les trois dernières charges de NEY sont brisées par ses canons devant Mont-Saint-Jean. Il poursuit l armée française vaincue avec les troupes alliées et entre à Paris en juillet. MERCER fait partie de l armée anglaise d occupation jusqu en décembre 1815, date à laquelle il ramène sa batterie en Angleterre par Calais. Il poursuivra ensuite sa carrière au Canada. Il quittera le service comme commandant la 9° brigade d artillerie et mourra en 1868. Il a laissé, sous le titre anglais de « Journal of the Waterloo Campaign », une très vivante relation de la campagne de Belgique de 1815 et de ses combats des Quatre-bras et de Waterloo. Une stèle a été dressée à sa mémoire, borne en pierre bleue dressée chemin des Vertes Bornes à 500 mètres de la Butte du Lion. MERCER a produit un témoignage exceptionnel, celui d un officier-gentleman. Tout en ne cachant pas ni sa fierté d être anglais, ni son aversion pour « BONAPARTE », il n a aucune animosité à l encontre des combattants français et n hésite jamais à leur rendre justice, même au détriment de ses compatriotes lorsqu il le juge bon. Pour tous les historiens de la campagne de Belgique et de Waterloo, si un témoin direct et acteur de la bataille mérite d être cru, c est bien cet officier d artillerie anglais du nom de Cavalié-Alexander MERCER.

First Edition Signed
2 volumes. RARE FIRST EDITION IN PRESENTATION BINDING. A UNIQUE COPY. A family presentation copy, inscribed to George E. Mercer from I. Tod-Mercer and dated [18]96. 8vo, in a beautiful Zaehnsdorf signed binding dated 1896, thus no doubt custom made for the presentation to George E. Mercer. The binding is of full crushed scarlet morocco richly adorned in fine late-Victorian style. The boards feature a wide frame of gilt vines, flowers and thistles which is further ruled in gilt then further surrounded by minutely detailed gilt rolling, the upper boards also lettered "Mercer s Waterloo" in fine gilt stamping, the smooth rounded spines with gilt lettering with a gilt oval surrounded by more gilt vines and flowers which then grow both up and below to fully frame the spine panel, board edges gilt ruled, wide turn-ins gilt tooled in the same motif as the covers, silk endpapers with powder blue moire pattern and further gilt tooling complete this beautiful presentation, a.e.g. xii, 369; viii, 347 pp. An extraordinary set, the condition remains outstanding. The text-block is essentially pristine, the fine bindings show only the most minimal evidence of age. Truly and outstanding and unique copy. A SCARCE AND IMPORTANT FIRST EDITION, SCARCE IN ANY STATE AND THIS AN EXTRAORDINARY COPY. Mercer's Journal is an important source for historians of the Waterloo campaign, as well as a detailed description of the landscape and people of Belgium and France in the early 19th century. It is one of the few accounts of the period written by an artillery officer. Mercer s journals were kept throughout the campaign of 1815 but were not published until 1870, after his death. The work was compiled and written in its finished form some 30 years earlier, from the original notes Mercer wrote contemporaneously, with additions and verifications from correspondence and other sources. It covers the period from April 1815 to January 1816. Although he eventually rose to the rank of general, his fame is as commander of the British G Troop Royal Horse Artillery in the thick of the fighting at the Battle of Waterloo. It is also notable for its lengthy descriptions of the countryside and its people. In spite of his position with the British Army, the work is usually found in 20th Century editions in French. Its historical value in the English-speaking nations was largely overlooked till its rediscovery with a Praeger edition in 1970.
