Infantry Tactics; or Rules for the Exercise and Manoeuvres of the United States Infantry. Volume II. School of the Battalion and Instruction for Light Infantry or Rifle

Beschreibung

Pocket sized hardcover. Brown cloth with gold lettering on the spine, blindstamped borders on the boards. Some minor chipping at the crown and foot of spine, rubbing at the corners. Binding itself complete and tight, despite this evidence of use. Engraved title page with eagle, "Infantry Tactics in Three Volumes." This is volume 2 only. Printed title page with full title (as noted above). 228 pages + 119 more pages to accompany the plates. Plates are numbered 15 - 38. All 24 of these plates are present. They're all folding plates, although none are very big. About half are on thin, low quality paper which is quite browned from age. Foxing throughout. Intruiging ownership names at the front - The name George Lyon written on both inside front cover and front endpaper (and again on page 12 of the plates section. He has also written "Petersburg" (presumably Virginia, but there are others). Nice inscription on the first printed page, "Presented to Lieut D. A. [Weiniger] from his friend Geo Lyons. Dec 1846." I can't quite make out the name of the recipient. I have not been able to find George Lyons, either, so this is a research project for the next owner. Please email with questions or to request photos.
