Condizione: New. 2008 N & M Press reprint of 1802 original Edition. SB. 309pp. + 43 plates Published Price £22 Despite his posthumous triumph at Trafalgar, the Battle of the Nile is often rated by historians as Nelsonâs greatest and most complete victory. His daring decision to take his fleet into shallow and uncharted waters in Aboukir Bay in order to catch the anchored French fleet napping and rake them simultaneously with broadsides from both sides, paid off magnificently, resulting in the annihilation of the enemy, culminating with the spectacular explosion of the French flagship LâOrient - and stranding Napoleonâs army in Egypt. This book, written by the former Chaplain to Nelsonâs mentor, the Earl of St Vincent, tells the story of the battle as seen by a witness. But the engagement is only the climax of a long voyage as Nelson followed, lost, searched for and finally found his quarry. Written and published in 1802, soon after the battle it describes, this, with maps and many engravings is a supremely interesting and rare account of Nelsonâs navy in its finest hour.His drawings and journals of this expedition were ' the first, the most particular, and the most authentic account of the battle ' according to Dictionary of National Biography.

Half Morocco over Boards. Condizione: Good Plus. Folio. 32 pp. with 31 hand-colored aquatint plates. Both Abbey Travel 198 and Tooley 511 give the plate number as 36 but the letterpress matches the 31 plate number in this copy and there are absolutely no signs of anything removed, and so surely this copy was issued as such. A few of the plates are exciting, such as the frontis with the procession depicted or scenes of old Cairo, and none are without merit. The binding is contemporary, and although quite scuffed, especially the boards, and there is wear along the joints, well worth preserving. Some scattered foxing and soiling, the title bearing the brunt of such as is here, and there is a minor tear/chip on the upper title page as well. Measures 16 by 12 inches, 40 by 30 cm.

Print. Condizione: Very good condition. A very decorative view of Cairo with the River Nile in the foreground, boaters, a fisherman and cowheard watering bullocks, showing the life of the river, buildings in background. From the book "A Selection of Views in Egypt, Palestine, Rhodes, Italy, Minorca and Gibraltar" by Rev. Cooper Willyams.

Aquatint by Samuel Alken. The Reverend Cooper Willyams (1762-1816) was a topographer and artist, as well as minister and chaplain. The son of a British naval commander, he went to Cambridge, was ordained and contributed to "Topographical Miscellanies" before going to sea as Chaplain on the Boyne in 1793. England was at war with revolutionary France, and the Boyne participated in the West Indies' action of that war. In 1796, Willyams returned to London and published An Account of the Campaign in the West Indies., which was illustrated with six drawings by Willyams, rendered in aquatint by Samuel Alken. This view on Guadeloupe was taken just outside Fort Matilda where Willyams served as chaplain. From his commanding position but minimizing the fortress as a geographical figure, Willyams gives a rich view of the lush hills and the rushing river below.
