Edward Stanley, later Bishop of Norwich, travelled to France during the Peace of Amiens in 1802, again after Napoleon’s first fall in 1814, and once more in 1816. His letters home describe Paris under the Consulate and the Bourbons, the track of the retreating armies, the Low Countries and the field of Waterloo.
