Sobre este artículo
London: William Clowes & Sons, Limited, 1890. First edition of Dalton's account of the decisive engagement of the Waterloo campaign and Napoleon's last. Octavo, bound in three quarters morocco, gilt titles and tooling to the spine, illustrated, tissue-guarded engraved frontispiece. In good condition. Bookplate. Ownership name. Rare. Waterloo was the decisive engagement of the Waterloo campaign and Napoleon's last. According to Wellington, the battle was "the nearest-run thing you ever saw in your life". Napoleon abdicated four days later, and coalition forces entered Paris on 7 July. The defeat at Waterloo ended Napoleon's rule as Emperor of the French and marked the end of his Hundred Days return from exile. This ended the First French Empire and set a chronological milestone between serial European wars and decades of relative peace, often referred to as the Pax Britannica.
