Additional Details

A very early Dutch report of the 18 June Battle of Waterloo. Waterloo is not mentioned by name, but the related Battle of Wavre is, and the article announces that "Buonaparte geslagen is"--Bonaparte is beaten. This extra precedes the official report in the Nederlandsche Staats-Courant by three days.
