(WELLINGTON, Arthur, Duke of) GURWOOD, John (ed.)
The Dispatches of Field Marshal The Duke of Wellington
during his various campaigns in India, Denmark, Portugal, Spain, The Low Countries, and France from 1799 to 1818. Compiled from Official and Authentic Documents.
New edition, first published 1834–8. Indispensable for the study of Wellington's campaigns, and perhaps the only source for the occasional glimpse of the man.
12 volumes, octavo (217 × 134 mm). Contemporary full calf, red and black labels, spines gilt in compartments, triple fillet gilt panel to the boards, chequered edge-roll, marbled edges and endpapers A little rubbed at the extremities, a few minor splits to the joints, slight chipping of a few head-caps, remains an attractive set.
