A Week at Waterloo in 1815 is a Napoleonic war history text by Magdalene De Lancey. The subject--a deathbed scene--might seem at first sight to be a trite and common one. The mise-en-sce--the Battle of Waterloo--alone however redeems it from such a charge; and the principal actors play their part in no common-place or unrelieved tragedy. "Certainly," as Bacon says, "Vertue is like pretious Odours, most fragrant when they are incensed or crushed: For Prosperity doth best discover Vice; But Adversity doth best discover Vertue."
