Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Second edition 1792, as stated on the title page. 226pp. Half-bound with red title label to spine. Marbled boards generally rubbed and worn to faces. Edges and corners scuffed. Front hinge cracking and a little tender: with careful handling it will be fine. Rear hinge a little worn but firm. Endpapers and title slightly mottled but consistent with age. Text very clean and bright. Map of southern England correctly folded, tight and with two small cuts along two folds near the lower margin where the edge is folded and a small hole at one fold junction. A tiny amount of colouring associated with troop positions. Folded plate of geographical landscapes with some ghosting and coloured according to troop positions (engraved by William Faden). Folded plate of troops and formations with a little ghosting and partly coloured. Title; Contents and Index (iii-vii); introduction (i-xix); text1-226; direction to book-binder; final advertisement leaf. The second edition differs from the later fourth edition (also available) in that the editors supplement is much reduced. Henry Lloyd was a career soldier who took part in a number of engagements around Europe as well as being involved in the Jacobite rebellion. As a soldier he acted as a surveyor for the French, most notably when surveying parts of the English coast. As an author he was widely respected for his knowledge of tactical warfare. 'Rhapsody' was published posthumously. It known to have been read by George Washington and General Patton and considered a key work in the development of 'modern' warfare. In this book, Lloyd deals with the problems that could be faced by an invading French army. This is not described in a generalised way but actually is very specific, e.g.: "near the seven mile stone a branch goes by Stocksbridge over some very hills and joins it to Basingstoke". An attractive and fascinating copy. More details available on request. (Ud3).…
