Stipple engraving, from 'Contemporary Portraits', good margins.

8 volumes (6 plus 2 supplements). An excessively rare counterpart to Lorimer's simultaneously published Gazetteer of the Gulf: like it, classified at the time of its issuing as a confidential British government document and still well-nigh unobtainable in the original printing, this third and last issue of Paget's and Mason's "Frontier and Overseas Expeditions" remains the most important single source on Raj-based military frontier operations carried out up to the First World War. The work was first compiled in 1873 by Colonel W. H. Paget as "A Record of Expeditions against the North-West Frontier Tribes", with the intention of providing a "valuable guide" to such British commanders and policymakers as "might have future dealings with these turbulent neighbours". It was revised in 1884 by A. H. Mason of the Royal Engineers. Three decades later, the frontiers of British influence had vastly expanded: they now reached to the borders of Afghanistan and Persia, and a newly compiled record of expeditions was urgently required. Under the editorship of Lieutenant C. F. Aspinall and Major R. G. Burton, the work known as "Paget & Mason" was thoroughly overhauled and expanded to six volumes, replete with maps and each dealing with a distinct geographical division, with two supplements. Only a few hundred copies would have been printed for circulation to British government departments, regimental libraries, and agencies. Corners somewhat bumped, but altogether a tightly bound, handsome and well-preserved set. 1910 and 1911 stamps of the Bareilly Brigade Military Library to most volumes (but stamp of W. B. Salmon to the supplement to vol. 2). Provenance: 1) 7th Division Military Society, 1908; 2) Bareilly Brigade Military Library, 1910/11; 3) U.S. private collection.l WorldCat 821799. Uniform contemporary half calf, green cloth sides, gold-stamped spine labels. With 43 maps and 8 plans.…

Uniformly bound in contemporary quarter calf over green cloth covers with giltstamped spine labels.

Only a few hundred copies would have been printed for circulation to British government departments, regimental libraries, and agencies. The present set, issued to the 7th Division Military Society in 1908 (later the Bareilly Brigade Military Library), bears the giltstamped copy numbers 217, 220, 221, 222, 258, 262, and 1134 (supplement). - The sixth volume deals in depth with "The Arabian Peninsula and the Islands of Perim and Socotra". It includes a sketch of the geographical situation before discussing in more detail the First Expedition to Ras-al-Khaimah in 1809 ("political causes - composition of the force - arrival at Masqat - arrival at Ras-al-Khaimah - description of Ras-al-Khaimah - landing of main body - capture of Ras-al-Khaimah - bravery of enemy - burning of pirate vessels - losses - Lingeh - repulse of the troops - re-embarkation - daring action by Lt. Hall, IN - attack on Shanas - desperate resistance"). It is noteworthy that the British officers here felt compelled to record the military gallantry of the al-Qasimi in their resistance to the British forces. Similarly, the Second Expedition to Ras-al-Khaimah in 1819 is treated, as is the Bani-Bu-Ali Expedition of 1810 (mentioning the results of "bad diplomacy" and "bad tactics", and citing the bravery of an Imam who displayed "great personal courage" while endeavouring to save an artilleryman). Further sections are given over to the islands of Perim (occupied. …

Seltenes Porträt des 1st Marquess of Anglesey.- "As Lord Paget, Anglesey served with great distinction as cavalry commander under Sir John Moore during the retreat to Corunna in 1809, the 'Dunkirk' of the Peninsular war.

In two vivid, deeply detailed letters, Lord Uxbridge - later Marquess of Anglesey and commander of allied cavalry at Waterloo - recounts the withdrawal from Quatre Bras and the battle of Waterloo. Written within six months of the engagement, they are almost certainly among his earliest surviving narratives. Autograph correspondence from any senior Allied commander is exceptionally rare. Uxbridge (1768-1854) had been Wellington's brilliant and inspirational cavalry commander in the Peninsula. At Waterloo he reached his zenith at a critical juncture, when Picton's infantry was under overwhelming pressure. He personally led the British heavy cavalry in a sweeping charge that routed vastly superior French numbers, destroyed batteries, and took prisoners and eagles, though at severe cost in men and horses. Throughout the day he moved ceaselessly between units - losing eight or nine horses - until his right knee was shattered by grapeshot in the battle's final moments. His supposed exchange with Wellington - "By God, sir, I've lost my leg!" / "By God, sir, so you have!" - became the most famous anecdote of the field. John Morewood quoted both letters in Waterloo General (2016), and Edward Owen cited them in The Waterloo Papers (1997). Owen identifies the recipient as Colonel James Allan of the 57th Foot, formerly Fitzroy Somerset's successor as Wellington's military secretary, a veteran of the Cape (1795), Seringapatam (1799), and the Peninsular War. Written from Beaudesert, Staffordshire, in December 1815 and addressed to "My dear Sir" (and earlier, "My dear Colonel"), the first letter (10 pages, 9 December) describes Uxbridge's management of the Allied withdrawal from Quatre Bras. After a quiet morning, a substantial force of French cavalry and artillery appeared on the left of Quatre Bras, advancing from the pursuit of the defeated Prussians. As the Anglo-allied light battalions withdrew, Uxbridge organized the cavalry retreat over the Genappe. He gives a sharply observed account of the fighting there, where French harassment became so severe that he ordered a spirited attack by the Hussars, followed by a decisive charge of the Life Guards, which checked the French advance. The second letter (9 pages, 18 December) covers the day of Waterloo. Uxbridge begins by admitting that to answer Allan fully "wd be writing a history of my own exploits", before setting out the celebrated charge of the heavy cavalry: their simultaneous assault under Sir William Ponsonby and Lord Edward Somerset, the overthrow of infantry and cavalry, the seizure of two eagles and some 2,500 prisoners, and the deep penetration into French squares. He notes their over-extension and heavy losses from French artillery, then comments on the actions of Dörnberg, Colquhoun Grant, Arentsschildt, Vandeleur (who took over after Uxbridge fell), and Hussey Vivian. He ends by directing Allan to his aide-de-camp Captain Thomas Wildman of the 7th Hussars at Stevens's Hotel, Bond Street, for further detail. The collection includes a note of 17 January 1816 from FitzRoy Somerset - Wellington's military secretary at Waterloo and later Lord Raglan - giving allied numbers engaged and remarking, "I hope it will be as useful to you as you are welcome to it". Written shortly after Somerset himself lost an arm at Waterloo, it is reproduced in Owen's Waterloo Papers. Three letters from Wellington to his former India colleague Sir Alexander Allan, first baronet, date from 1806, 1814, and 1820 and address James Paull's actions against Richard Wellesley, Allan's candidacy for an East India Company directorship (which Wellington strongly endorsed), and Wellington's request for Allan's influence at India House during the 1820 general election. Two revealing letters from Catherine, Duchess of Wellington, express her lifelong devotion to her husband, ask to keep a portrait lent by Allan, and describe her efforts to canvass support for Allan's directorship bid. A brief account of Allan notes his service in the Mysore Wars, his published aquatints, his parliamentary career, and his later role as an East India Company director trusted by Richard Wellesley. The remaining correspondence includes Allan's three political letters of July 1813 advocating Lord Wellesley's alignment with Sidmouth, Buckinghamshire, and John Sullivan; an 1809 letter from the Marquis de Montalembert describing winter campaigning in the Peninsula; an 1816 note from Sir William Knighton apparently on Allan's mother's death; a friendly letter from "von Kuefstein" in Vienna referring to dispatches to Genoa and to Captain Cotton; a Stuttgart letter of February 1820 on affairs in Württemberg; and two mid-19th-century letters involving John Palfrey Burrell and William Boone seeking access to Waterloo documentation, likely addressed to Major Edward Thomas Fitzgerald, a wounded Waterloo veteran. The Marquess of Anglesey, One-Leg: The Life and Letters of Henry William Paget, First Marquess of Anglesey 1768-1854, 1991; David Howarth, Waterloo: A Near Run Thing, 1974. Folio (300 x 245 mm), contains an archive of 17 letters, 55 pp., various sizes, letters gummed direct to the leaf or with paper tape.
