About this book
Before and after Waterloo gathers letters from Edward Stanley, sometime Bishop of Norwich, edited by Jane H. Adeane and Maud Grenfell. The contents list names chapters called After Napoleon's Fall, Under the Bourbon Flag, On the Track of Napoleon's Army, and The Low Countries. The text says that Edward Stanley had changed the whole face of the parish and successfully organised many schemes of improvement in the conditions of the working classes in his neighbourhood.
The text describes the first view of Metz, after traversing an uninteresting country, as remarkably fine, and says there is something very grand in entering a fortified Town. The text also tells of a Landlord lifted into his boots, an operation which, from the weight and infirmities of the one and the extreme clumsiness of the others, took up nearly a quarter of an hour.
