THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, June, 1815, with the Supplement issue. This issue, along with its 76 page "Supplement", reports one of the more notable military events in European history, the battle of Waterloo in which Napoleon Buonparte was defeated by England's Duke of Wellington. And terrific to have this in a British periodical, from the country which was the victor.Near the back of the June issue are various reports under the heading "Abstract of Foreign Occurrences" which give much detail on the situation with the French, with much on Napoleon and his political ambitions with France. This text takes over 5 pages.
The "meat" of this historic report, however, is found on several of the interior pages of the "Supplement" issue, being the notable report as found in the "London Gazette Extraordinary" issue of June 22, 1815, the one which constantly turns up as a reprint due to its historic desirability.
The report carries a dateline of "Waterloo, June 19" and provides extensive coverage of the battle in a 2 1/2 page report signed in type: Wellington. Carrying over to take almost 7 additional pages are further reports from the Duke of Wellington including a very extensive list of "Names of Officers Killed, Wounded and Missing" for the various dates of the battles.
All four plates called for are present.
Total of 200 pages, 5 by 8 1/4 inches, minor foxing, nice condition.
