Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Original cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. xvii, 388 pages clean and tight. In the annals of military memoirs few stand as highly regarded as the narrative of Cavalié Mercer describing his experiences in the Waterloo Campaign. The reason is simple - Mercer combined the luck of being in the thick of the action at the right time with the great talent required to write a thoroughly readable memoir. We follow fiercer and 0 Troop Royal Morse Artillery from their chaotic and thoroughly uncomfortable landing on the Belgian coast to their entry Into Paris after Waterloo. Although the description he gives of campaigning and billeting in a foreign country is fascinating and vivid, the importance of the memoir undoubtedly lies in his personal experiences during the Battle of Waterloo itselt. Wi the French cavalry was sent oy laI shal Ney, thii"-42rinn over the high ground tow.,;, iile waiting squares of British and Dutch infantry, it was troops of artillery such as Mercer's who kept firing to the last mo'ct, causing havoc amongst the mounted French ranks. The cost was terrible. Of the 200 horses in the troop over 140 lay dead on the battlefield. The gunners who survived lay exhausted at their guns. Of the many first hand accounts of Waterloo, none conveys the excitement and the horror of the battle so vividly. With an Introduction by the Hon. SIR JOHN IORTfSCUF Size: 8vo.

2003 N & M Press reprint (original pub 1870). in two vols. xx i+ 369pp & vi i+ 347pp sb Published Price £22 The author of this book was commander of â Gâ Troop, Royal Horse Artillery, in Wellingtonâ s army, who jotted down notes on the events of the day each evening. It is an account of what he saw and felt from leaving Colchester for Belgium on 8 April 1815 to his final return to England at the end of January 1816. It is a remarkable and compelling account, especially of the three days which ended the career of Napoleon. Mercerâ s troop was at Quatre Bras, where he got off a few rounds at Napoleon himself, and at Waterloo. There are graphic descriptions of the battles and of his tour over the battlefield the day after, with its appalling scenes of carnage and the sight of the locals looting the dead, and the not-quite dead. It is an outstanding example of the literature of the Napoleonic wars, and it has a rarity as the memoir of an artillery officer, and a troop commander at that.

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.
