About this Item

1894, amall 8vo, 368pp, illustrated. Extremities worn, covers lightly splotched, else G. From the introduction: "Often as the campaign of Waterloo has been described by historians and frequently as it has been celebrated in fiction it has rarely been narrated from the standpoint of a private soldier participating in it and telling only what he saw. But what renders WATERLOO still more interesting is the picture it presents of the state of affairs after the first Bourbon restoration, and its description of how gradually but surely the way was prepared by the stupidity of the new regime for that return to power of Napoleon which seems so dramatically sudden and unexpected to a superficial view of the events of the time.".
