Zustand: New. KlappentextrnrnThis is a reproduction of the original artefact. Generally these books are created from careful scans of the original. This allows us to preserve the book accurately and present it in the way the author intended. Since the origina.

First edition of a rather obscure tactical treatise based on the skirmishing techniques of the Parthians, written in the aftermath of the Orsini affair, when the French were expected on British shores at any moment and the Volunteer Force had sprung up in response. Uncommon: three copies only on Library Hub (BL, NLS, and Oxford), no copies on WorldCat. Unsurprisingly, not in Riling. Octavo. Folding frontispiece. Original printed glazed paper boards. Pencilled ownership inscription of Hastings Russell, 9th Duke of Bedford. Light browning, boards a little rubbed, spine chipped with about 30mm of loss at the head, remains attractive.
