18061547621806-45. They "succeeded to the utmost & overthrew every thing" - Uxbridge and the "heavies" at Waterloo In two vivid deeply detailed letters Lord Uxbridge - later Marquess of Anglesey and commander of allied cavalry at Waterloo - recounts the withdrawal from Quatre Bras and the battle of Waterloo. Written within six months of the engagement they are almost certainly among his earliest surviving narratives. Autograph correspondence from any senior Allied commander is exceptionally rare. Uxbridge 1768-1854 had been Wellington's brilliant and inspirational cavalry commander in the Peninsula. At Waterloo he reached his zenith at a critical juncture when Picton's infantry was under overwhelming pressure. He personally led the British heavy cavalry in a sweeping charge that routed vastly superior French numbers destroyed batteries and took prisoners and eagles though at severe cost in men and horses. Throughout the day he moved ceaselessly between units - losing eight or nine horses - until his right knee was shattered by grapeshot in the battle's final moments. His supposed exchange with Wellington - "By God sir I've lost my leg!" / "By God sir so you have!" - became the most famous anecdote of the field. John Morewood quoted both letters in Waterloo General 2016 and Edward Owen cited them in The Waterloo Papers 1997. Owen identifies the recipient as Colonel James Allan of the 57th Foot formerly Fitzroy Somerset's successor as Wellington's military secretary a veteran of the Cape 1795 Seringapatam 1799 and the Peninsular War. Written from Beaudesert Staffordshire in December 1815 and addressed to "My dear Sir" and earlier "My dear Colonel" the first letter 10 pages 9 December describes Uxbridge's management of the Allied withdrawal from Quatre Bras. After a quiet morning a substantial force of French cavalry and artillery appeared on the left of Quatre Bras advancing from the pursuit of the defeated Prussians. As the Anglo-allied light battalions withdrew Uxbridge organized the cavalry retreat over the Genappe. He gives a sharply observed account of the fighting there where French harassment became so severe that he ordered a spirited attack by the Hussars followed by a decisive charge of the Life Guards which checked the French advance. The second letter 9 pages 18 December covers the day of Waterloo. Uxbridge begins by admitting that to answer Allan fully "wd be writing a history of my own exploits" before setting out the celebrated charge of the heavy cavalry: their simultaneous assault under Sir William Ponsonby and Lord Edward Somerset the overthrow of infantry and cavalry the seizure of two eagles and some 2500 prisoners and the deep penetration into French squares. He notes their over-extension and heavy losses from French artillery then comments on the actions of Dörnberg Colquhoun Grant Arentsschildt Vandeleur who took over after Uxbridge fell and Hussey Vivian. He ends by directing Allan to his aide-de-camp Captain Thomas Wildman of the 7th Hussars at Stevens's Hotel Bond Street for further detail. The collection includes a note of 17 January 1816 from FitzRoy Somerset - Wellington's military secretary at Waterloo and later Lord Raglan - giving allied numbers engaged and remarking "I hope it will be as useful to you as you are welcome to it". Written shortly after Somerset himself lost an arm at Waterloo it is reproduced in Owen's Waterloo Papers. Three letters from Wellington to his former India colleague Sir Alexander Allan first baronet date from 1806 1814 and 1820 and address James Paull's actions against Richard Wellesley Allan's candidacy for an East India Company directorship which Wellington strongly endorsed and Wellington's request for Allan's influence at India House during the 1820 general election. Two revealing letters from Catherine Duchess of Wellington express her lifelong devotion to her husband ask to keep a portrait lent by Allan and describe her efforts to canvass support for Allan's directorship bid. A brief account of Allan notes his service in the Mysore Wars his published aquatints his parliamentary career and his later role as an East India Company director trusted by Richard Wellesley. The remaining correspondence includes Allan's three political letters of July 1813 advocating Lord Wellesley's alignment with Sidmouth Buckinghamshire and John Sullivan; an 1809 letter from the Marquis de Montalembert describing winter campaigning in the Peninsula; an 1816 note from Sir William Knighton apparently on Allan's mother's death; a friendly letter from "von Kuefstein" in Vienna referring to dispatches to Genoa and to Captain Cotton; a Stuttgart letter of February 1820 on affairs in Württemberg; and two mid-19th-century letters involving John Palfrey Burrell and William Boone seeking access to Waterloo documentation likely addressed to Major Edward Thomas Fitzgerald a wounded Waterloo veteran.

A SCARCE AND IMPORTANT FIRST EDITION SCARCE IN ANY STATE AND THIS AN EXTRAORDINARY COPY. Mercer's ‘Journal’ is an important source for historians of the Waterloo campaign as well as a detailed description of the landscape and people of Belgium and France in the early 19th century. It is one of the few accounts of the period written by an artillery officer. Mercer’s journals were kept throughout the campaign of 1815 but were not published until 1870 after his death. The work was compiled and written in its finished form some 30 years earlier from the original notes Mercer wrote contemporaneously with additions and verifications from correspondence and other sources. It covers the period from April 1815 to January 1816. Although he eventually rose to the rank of general his fame is as commander of the British G Troop Royal Horse Artillery in the thick of the fighting at the Battle of Waterloo. It is also notable for its lengthy descriptions of the countryside and its people.<br> In spite of his position with the British Army the work is usually found in 20th Century editions in French. Its historical value in the English-speaking nations was largely overlooked till its rediscovery with a Praeger edition in 1970. William Blackwood and Sons hardcover
