One has the repair clearly in the blank margin and two others in practically blank areas of the image.

Though well written and comprehensive, the book was not receive with much acclaim. One reviewer was exceptionally harsh: "Ware ons dit boekje niet ter recensie gezonden, wij zouden er zeker geen kennis meê gemaakt hebben. Nu willen wij er alleen van zeggen, dat het noch de kosten van het drukken, noch de moeite van het lezen waard is. Het is samengeflanst uit de geschriften van twee Belgische militairen, den Kolonel Van de Welde en den Kolonel Lecomte, met aanhechting van een rapport van Maarschalk Bazaine. Wij kunnen er uit leeren, zoo wij het nog niet wisten, dat Frankrijk niet klaar was toen het den oorlog begon. - Alleen de schetskaartjes kunnen van eenigen dienst zijn voor hen, die zich nog eens de veldslagen bij Wörth, bij Gravelotte en bij Sédan voor oogen willen brengen."
