“The neighborhood of Leipzig, Austerlitz, Waterloo, where, during the late Napoleonic #Wars, the principal battles were fought, have been swept of the bones of the hero and the horse which he rode. Thus collected, they have been shipped to the Yorkshire bone grinders,
who have erected steam-powered machinery for the purpose of reducing them to a granular state. In this condition they are sold to the farmers to #manure their lands.”
London Observer, November 18, 1822
