In contemporary 1800s Half-Leather with gilt titling/banding/small decorations and marbled paper boards. Quite an attractive book but scruffy and with damage/some loss to the leather. The boards and the leather are worn and badly scuffed to all 4 corners with loss to the leather and the spine edges have split on the top and bottom edges and are cracking all up the sides. Some small loss there and to the head/tail of the spine and to the rear inner edges. There is also some cracking of the leather to the centre of the spine but no loss. ALL hinges holding tight however and for it's age it looks quite reasonable. This is an oddity and the collation is difficult as the book consists of a most attractive Engraved Title Page to Volume V dated 1813 with a small rectangular engraved vignette 'View of Horseguards from St James Park'. This is followed by The Title/Contents page for 'The Royal Military Chronicle or British Officer's Monthly Register and Mentor for DECEMBER 1812' followed by a full page engraving of the bust of The Marquis of Wellington pages 92 to 168 pp : then 'The Royal Military Chronicle. ' for JANUARY 1813 pages 169 - 248 pp including a tissue guarded engraved Portrait of 'The Prince Regent' and a Large fold-out map of Russia in Europe : Then follows the Title page for 'The Life of Peter The Great Emperor of Russia Including the History of The Russian Empire During His Reign; with an Historical Sketch of the Most Important Events During That Period.

Translated from the French of Vertot. Thence Continued Down to the Present Time. Published 1813 by J. Davis Military Chronicle Office. The Large fold out Maps have grubby edges from being left 'proud' of the book but are all complete and are very clean good clear impressions printed on good quality paper. The first six pages in the book have some light old damp staining to the top on the blank margins and a couple of the later full page engravings also have a little old damp staining to the top sections. Plain endpapers. Generally the book is Internally VERY Good. This seems to have been a personally bound volume and going from the list of 'Embellishments' at the end of the Volume Index which lists 6 portraits starting with 'His Majesty George III' - it would appear that Volume 5 should have started with the Chronicle for November 1812 with his portrait. This is not bound in - but this issue has NOT been removed from this vol and given the Additional books in this volume relating to the content of these issues it has instead been bound in the previous volume by the former owner.

Published 1812 by J. Davis Military Chronicle Office. This is 'The Supplement to The Royal Military Chronicle' . iv 142 pp. Generally this volume is Internally VERY Good. Please also see my listing for Volume V as this too seems to have also been a personally bound volume and going from the list of 'Embellishments' at the end of the Volume V Index which lists 6 portraits starting with 'His Majesty George III' - it would appear that Volume 5 should have started with the Chronicle for November 1812 with his portrait relating to the content of these issues and all of that has been bound in THIS volume by the former owner.
