Dumaine, 1846. 4to, 1 volume only (of 6 - the second volume wasn't published until 1851, and volumes 3-6 weren't published until 1862-71); pp. xxviii, 387, [1]; 10 engraved plates of weapons and equipment of war; contemporary full green morocco, elaborate gilt rules on covers enclosing the Napoleonic crown with the letter 'N' beneath, gilt-decorated spine in 6 compartments, gilt-lettered direct in 2, a.e.g., inner dentelles; extremities a bit rubbed, small crack starting at the bottom of the front joint, all else very good. This copy inscribed "Lord William Lennox souvenir de la part de l'auteur, Napoleon Louis B" (part of the 'B' lost to the binder's knife). Lord William Pitt Lennox (1799-1881) was a British Army officer and writer of bad novels. He preferred sport, horseracing, literature, and other entertainments to military life - a life cut short by blindness in one eye.
