Containing an accurate description of the sea engagements, sieges, battles, expeditions and conquests, of the various contending powers, including an account of the general mutiny among the seamen, at Spithead and the Nore, together with a particular narrative of the rise, progress, and various events accompanying the rebellion in Ireland. This is a very rare, 1799 first edition, printed at Manchester by Sowler and Russell. The front and rear pastedowns and endpapers have been replaced and the book appears to have been tightly rebound, albeit in the original marbled boards with brown calf spine. All internal pages are heavily foxed and browned and pages 281 - 288 are missing. There is some duplication of page numbers later in the book (ie. pages 467 - 496) though the actual text on the 'duplicated' pages is different. This probably reflects the priter's and binder's 'art' at the time. There are 20 plates, including maps. The map of Italy, loose at page 658, is torn in half but complete.

The full story of Napoleon and his crucial relationship with Russia, from the 1790s and Bonaparte's rise to power, through the period of Austerlitz, Tilsit and the Russian invasion, to the Emperor's fall and its aftermath. The book not only puts the critical events of 1812 in their proper context but also provides fresh insight into the Napoleonic period as a whole. A fascinating period with personalities and culture to match: Catherine the Great, 'Mad' Tsar Paul and the enigmatic Alexander I; Generals such as Ney, Murat, Davout, Suvorov, Kutuzov and Barclay de Tolly and statesmen like Talleyrand, Caulaincourt and Czartoryski

The 95th Rifles at Tarbes, 20th March, 1814. In October 1813, Wellington forced a French army under Maréchal Soult out of Spain and back into France. The penultimate battle of the Peninsular War was the fierce engagement at Tarbes where three battalions of the 95th Rifles fought as one cohesive brigade entirely equipped with the Baker rifle. This action led to a victory over an experienced French division and demonstrated that the highly trained sharpshooters of the 95th could match musket armed infantry many times their number.
