Excerpt from A Visit to Flanders, in July, 1815: Being Chiefly an Being of the Field of Waterloo Short Sketch of Antwerp and Brussels, at That Time Occupied by the Wounded of Both Armies My description 18 necessarily lim ited and partial. It IS a tourist's passing sketch, not a circumstantial military detail. I have not a doubt, that much as I have heard, I have still a great deal more to hear. If, there-1 fore, ln the very inadequate account which I have ventu'red to give of some striking incidents, I have omitted any of the actors immediately concerned I have no other plea than the 1mper-a fection, so far, of my knowledge. At the same time, the mere possibility of such omission would be no good ream son for suppressing any part of the well vouched positive information which I did obtain.
