First edition. Presentation copy from Oman to his wife; "To the Maker of the Index with the best love of the Writer of the Book, Oct. 19th 1912" - "The index is by the same loving hand which has worked on so many of my earlier volumes" (Preface). Supplement to Oman's opus magnum, offering "somewhat that is new to most students concerning the organisation, day to day life, and psychology" of Wellington's famous Peninsular Army. "To understand the exploits of Wellington's men, it does not suffice to read a mere chronicle of their marches and battles. I have endeavoured to collect in these pages notices of those aspects of their life which no strategical or tactical work can deal ..." (Preface). A very pretty copy, with an excellent association.
The post Wellington’s Army, 180-9-1814. appeared first on Peter Harrington.
