Zustand: New. SB xvi+251 pp + Map 2017 N&MP Reprint of 1907 Original EditionPublished Price £12.50 These lectures are rated as an outstanding contribution to the literature on Waterloo. The author of this book set out to present and analyse all available facts, and to achieve this he made a deliberate policy of consulting English, German, Belgian and French sources on the battle and thus produced a balanced and objective account. His work was translated into German and French and earned the praise of such as von Moltke the Elder. Subsequently French and German authorities offered further evidence which Chesney was able to incorporate in the later English editions. This reprint is of the last (fourth) and most comprehensive edition.

1st separate edition (Bleiler, p. 42). 64 pp. 12mo. 17 cm x 11.5 cm. The 'Battle of Dorking' was, apparently, written to document the need "for a complete reorganization of the British military system." The story's effect, after its initial (& anonymous) magazine publication in 1871, can be gauged by the fact that it drew a public, published response from Prime Minister Gladstone, who, many would say, was somewhat defensive therein. Of more importance to us today, the 'Battle of Dorking' also occasioned the emergence of a distinct sub-genre in the Science Fiction field, i.e., the "prophetic (or cautionary) novel of future war. Its distinguishing characteristic is a richly detailed description of an imminent war." And while many would later follow in Chesney's footsteps, "none of them would have Chesney's impact." [Gunn "Alternate Worlds", p. 62] An important work, not often found in original wrappers. Spine sunned. Front wrapper with oval bookseller stamp to lower right corner. Bookplates. A VG copy. Rebound in purple muslin cloth, gilt stamped title lettering to spine, with original printed purple front wrapper bound-in.
