| Summary | "After Waterloo: Reminiscences of European Travel 1815-1819" by Major W.E. Frye is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book recounts Frye’s travels across Europe in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, specifically exploring his experiences, observations, and reflections during the years following Napoleon’s defeat at the Battle of Waterloo. It captures the social and political dynamics of various European regions during a time of great change and turmoil. The opening of the memoir sets the stage for Frye's narrative, beginning with his arrival in England after leaving Ceylon, just as Napoleon is returning from exile. Frye reflects on the rapid changes in Europe, the reactions to Napoleon's resurgence, and the tensions brewing among the Allied forces. He provides detailed accounts of his travels through Belgium, including visits to famous cities like Brussels, the military preparations underway, and the sentiments of local inhabitants toward both Napoleon and the Coalition. This introductory passage is rich with historical context and personal commentary, establishing Frye as an astute observer navigating a pivotal moment in history.
