" When the work was first announced for publication we conceived great expectations from a 

 history compiled by one whose access to every source of information was favoured both by interest 

 in the highest quarters, and the circumstance of an official appointment on the statf. We looked 

 for a work which should at once and forever set at rest the disputed questions of the campaign. 

 We were not disappointed." — Dublin University Magazine. 



"To Captain Sibornc belongs the merit of having taken infinite pains to make himself master of 

 his subject, and of stating his views both of events and of their consequences in a straightforward, 

 manly, and soldier-like manner; his account of cavalry charges, especially in the affair of Quatre- 

 Bras the advance of columns, of cannonading, and the desultory sports of skirmishers, sweep you 

 onwards as if the scene described were actually passing under your eyes. We now take our leave 

 of Captain Siborne and his excellent work, tjianking him, not only for the amusement which we 

 have derived from his performance, but for the opportunity with which the appearance of a genuine 

 English history of the battle of Waterloo supplies us of refuting some of the errors regarding it into 

 which other historians had fallen." — Frazer's Magazine. 



" In order to render the work complete, it is supplied with a great number of maps, repre- 

 sentii)"' the field of battle at various hours of the day. so that the reader may have a constant refer- 

 ence, by which to understand the new positions of the several commands, and the amount gained 

 by the different armies. A part of the description of the battle is deeply interesting, from the exact- 

 ness of the information, the close particulars of the sufferings, escapes, and courage of parties and 

 individuals. The publishers deserve the thanksof general readers for such an addition to the means 

 of correct knowledge, and the value of the library shelves, for we suppose no library will be with- 

 out such an important work." — U. S. Gazette. 



" The author by a most rigid investigation, and careful comparison of the testimony of nearly all 

 the surviving eye witnesses of those events, has produced a book that may be considered of as much 

 atithority as anything that can be expected on this subject. It is hardly necessary to say, that it is 

 full of the most exciting and thrilling details — and in reading it, one seems to be standing within 

 hearing of the shouts of the conqueror, and the groans of the dying. It has passed quickly through 

 two editions in England, and we predict for it an extensive circulation in this country." — Albany 

 Atlas.
