Letters From Head-Quarters; or, the Ralities of the War in the Crimea
London: John Murray, 1856. First Edition. Octavo. Item #022968
In two volumes; Portrait frontispiece, 445 and 459pp., and several folding battle plans. The letters presented are for the most part, nearly word for word as they were originally written, still various occurrences, which at the time escaped observation, have been noticed, and extracts from the writer's journal introduced, in order more clearly to connect the chain of events. A very nice set bound in full polished calf, boards trimmed in a decorative gilt, raised bands with compartments fully gilt decorated, red and black contrasting spine labels gilt, all edges marbled with matching endpapers, wear to a few corners, nicely rebacked with old spine laid down, no names or bookplates.
