Description
Francis Grose. Military Anecdotes Respecting a History of the English Army, From the Conquest to the Present Time. London: Printed for T. Egerton, 1801. First edition in two volumes with material additions and improvements. Two octavo volumes. 412; 363 pages. Profusely illustrated with beautiful woodcuts, including sixty-one plates at the back of volume two illustrating weapons and armor. Contemporary leather binding with titles and decoration stamped in gilt on the spine. Modest shelf wear to the boards with the joints just starting to crack; the contents display only light scattered foxing with the bookplate of Charles Longuet Higgins on the front pastedowns of each volume, else the contents are bright and sound and the volumes are in overall very good condition. Grose first published this remarkable work in 1786. He died in 1791 and the publishers added a treatise on ancient arms and armor and reissued it in two volumes.Auction Info
