About This Item
NY, Burt [191-?]. Hard Cover. Eight Page Illustrations by H. M. Paget. "There are few great leaders whose lives and actions have so completely fallen into oblivion as those of the Earl of Peterborough. His career as a general was a brief one, extending only over a little more than a year, and yet in that time he showed a genius for warfare which has never been surpassed... that genius was directed by no steady aim or purpose. ...For the historical events I have described, and for the details of Peterborough's conduct and character, I have relied chiefly upon the memoir of the earl written by Mr. C. Warburton, and published some thirty years ago." Contents incude War of the Succession; Pirate Hold; Barcelona; Advance into Valencia; Irregular Warfare; French Convoy; Relief of Barcelona. vi, 351, 8 p., illus., 19 cm.; purple cloth boards decorated in black & green; pages darkened, red-ink owner stamp inside cover; minor wear & soiling to covers, front hinge loosening, no dj; good.
