First Edition. “Almost the whole book is on the Peninsular War and Napier’s experiences as a regimental officer of the 52nd. He commanded the 71st after the battle of Toulouse.” [Sandler] A little worn, but increasingly hard to find.
8vo. Original blur cloth, gilt. Portrait frontispiece. Marginal browning, the title page consequently a little brittle, but overall very good, the binding slightly rubbed and soiled, head- and tail-caps chipped.
