Description
Brialmont, (Alexis) - Histoire du Duc de Wellington. Paris et Bruxelles Tardieu, Guyot 1856-1857. 3 vols. In-8° half chagrin, xiii, 486, 492, vii, 437 pp. 7 out-of-text portraits, including 3 frontispieces, 22 folding maps. This first French biography of the Duke of Wellington, written by a military man and intended primarily for the military, is extremely well documented. So much so that it was heavily criticized when first published for revealing too much about the undeniable qualities of this great adversary of Napoleon. Good condition.
