Mémoires de Madame la marquise de La Rochejaquelein: avec deux cartes du théatre de la guerre de La Vendée | 
A treat for those facing The Great Waterloo Tangent in our #LesMisBuddyRead. This book was taken from the Tuileries when Napoleon deposed Louis XVIII March 1815. The handwritten notes were made by the French King himself shortly before (see the date 19 January 1815 in the top left). Blücher took it from Napoleon's carriage at Waterloo and gave it to the British liaison Sir Henry Hardinge who presented it to Lady Edgcumbe #RareBooks

Moray_Reads @UwannaPublishme it's not every day you get to hold a book that has been annotated by a king, travelled with an emperor, looted by a count and inherited by a marquess! 6y
