Book Description

Excerpt from A Visit to Flanders, in July, 1815: Being Chiefly an Account of the Field of Waterloo, With a Short Sketch of Antwerp and Brussels, at That Time; Occupied by the Wounded of Both Armies My description is necessarily limited and partial. Is is a tourist's passingi sketch, not a circumstantial military de tail. I have not a doubt, that much as I have heard, I have still a great deal more to hear. If, therefore, in the very inadequate account which I have ven tured to give of some striking incidents, I have omitted any of the actors imme diately concerned, I have no other plea than the imperfection, so far, of my knowledge. At the same time, the mere possibility of such omission would be no good reason for suppressing. Any part of the well vouched positive information which I did obtain.
