The Japanese in Manchuria 1904.

Proof Copies of the text volumes, no maps. One of the Pall Mall Military Series . Vol I covers the strategic plan of the war from the Japanese side, and Yalu and Te-li-ssu. Vol II deals with the later and final stages of the Japanese advance on Liao-Yang. Inscribed in Volume I, “Major G.W. Redway from the Translator.” and with extensive corrections and comments. Atkinson was to find a post-War niche as the author of a number of Regimental Histories, the recipient, Redway, wrote a number of tactical studies - on the American Civil War Fredericksburg, the War of Seccession, Magenta and Solferino, Wellington and Waterloo - and some military “How to” guides. Some extremely interesting commentary, the book itself far from common.

2 volumes, 8vo. Contemporary scarlet diced skiver, gilt supralibros to both volumes. Somewhat browned, rubbed, spines chipping head and tail.
