PARIS REVISITED, IN 1815, BY WAY OF BRUSSELS : Including A Walk Over The Field Of Battle At Waterloo

Excellent account of Scott's travels, and the fact that it takes him 259 pages to reach Paris is no disappointment as his accounts of Belgium and the Netherlands, and observations at Waterloo, are entertaining and illuminating. When he does arrive in subjugated France he devotes much of the remainder of the book to a detailed account of the stripping of the Louvre and the redistribution of its collection. Occasional foxing and light marking, but in general all is clean and bright, surprisingly so for the age. No inscriptions. Green endpapers with bookseller's/binder's label. Half leather binding with marbled paper-covered boards, worn to edges. Gilt titling and decoration to spine. 8vo. viii, 405
