In den Warenkorb[2], viii, 137, [1], [4]pp ads, half title. 12mo. Full contemporary sheep, gilt banded spine, black morocco label; some rubbing. A good-plus copy. Armorial bookplate of the Marquess of Headfort. In his introduction to the 9th edition (1805), the editor Thomas Reide explains that the work was originally published in 1782, by John… Williamson, the author of Elements of Military Arrangement. 'Although it was very favourably received by the army, yet the peace, which lasted for ten years, retarded in some degree the sale of it till the breaking out of the late war. The great alterations which took place in military finance at that time, rendered a new edition necessary, which was undertaken by the present editor, who added nearly one-half of new matter to it. This edition was published in the summer of 1795, and sold so rapidly as to call for another the following year. Till 1803, no less than seven editions have been printed, which were edited by other hands, the present editor being with his regiment in Ireland.'.
