[4],68,[1]pp., including errata. Lacks half title. Small quarto. Dbd. Moderate dampstaining. Very good. A scarce Peruvian imprint in which the Earl of Dundonald defends himself against accusations made by his own military commander, Gen. José San Martin, during the Peruvian war for independence. The first section contains San Martin's allegations against Cochrane, followed by the Admiral's refutation of the various charges. Admiral Thomas Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald (1775- 1860), fought for South American independence after being dismissed from the British navy. He served as a vice admiral in the Chilean navy, and his blockade played an important role in securing Peruvian independence. After helping Chile achieve independence, a dispute arose between Cochrane and San Martin over rewards and other spoils of war. It was not the first time, nor would it be the last, that Cochrane accused those he had served of failing to adequately compensate him. Still, he was a brilliant naval officer who was later reinstated into the British navy and served with distinction until his death in 1860. His legendary worldwide naval adventures influenced both C.S. Forester and Patrick O'Brian in their respective Horatio Hornblower and Jack Aubrey series of historical naval fiction.
