Charlotte Anne Eaton (1788-1859) traveled to both France and Italy, writing Narrative of a Residence in Belgium, During the Campaign of 1815, and of a Visit to the Field of Waterloo, which was published by her family while she remained abroad. The work was known for its graphic descriptions of the battle and its extremely patriotic tone. After marrying Stephen Eaton, a banker, she published Continental Adventures anonymously, a book that blended travel writing with a fictionalized plot and characters. The heroine in it chooses to embark on a European tour instead of seeking a husband. Before her death from cancer, Eaton revised Narrative of a Residence in Belgium, retitling it The Days of Battle, or, Quatre Bras and Waterloo; by an Englishwoman Resident in Brussels in June 1815. Three volumes, twelvemo. viii, 256; [4], 248; [4], 284 pp. Light blue paper covered boards with tan spine, pages uncut. Covers have light soiling, browning, and/or dampstaining.
