Beschreibung

8vo. Hardcover. Two Volumes. Vol 1. pp. 311. Vol 2. pp. 332. First Edition. Very good condition. Green cloth binding with gilt illustration and imprinted pattern on the cover; gilt title on spine. Professionally rebacked and overall a very good rebacked copy. End-papers are recent. Covers show signs of shelf-wear, with corners bumped and edges slightly worn. Slight denting at top and bottom of Vol 2's spine, in which the original cloth is torn. Pages themselves are clean and unmarked with light foxing. In Vol 1, the page before the title-page has a fold running through it, likely a fault with the paper during the book's printing. One plate is missing overall. Extremely scarce edition. General Sir Arthur Cunynghame was a British Army commander and memoirist. Cunynghame was colonel-commandant of the King's Royal Rifle Corps and of the 36th Regiment of Foot.
