Gen. Charles William Doyle 17701842 ordered this work to be printed.<br>Â Â Â Â Doyle was an Irish-born British lieutenant-colonel who in 1808 was ordered to Portugal to help fight Napoleon in the Peninsular Campaign. He very successfully aided the Spanish army in instilling discipline and organizing light infantry and was made a lieutenant general in the Spanish army. In 1811 Britain ordered him home but when he reached Cadiz Sir Henry Wellesley convinced him to command a camp at which a new army was being organized for action in the south of Spain. Again he was highly successful in his military instruction of new troops and as a result was promoted to full colonel in the British army; he remained in Spain till the end of the war in 1814.<br>Â Â Â Â The present work extracted from the larger one of the same title printed at Madrid by the Imprenta Real in 1808 was clearly printed for the instruction of Doyle's southern army.<br>Â Â Â Â At the rear of the volume are => 30 folding plates setting forth various dispositions and movements of infantry troops; clear careful verbal explanations of these precede them.<br>Â Â Â Â Searches of NUC WorldCat and the CCPBE locate => only three copies worldwide of which only one is in the U.S. West Point.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: Contemporary signature of "Velez" on title-page. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â Not in Palau.

1903003671Colombo Ceylon now Sri Lanka 1903. Half Morocco. Very Good. 8vo. 18.5 by 14.5 cm. iv 44 pp. the leaves made of heavy card stock. The author a colonial officer for the British army would later publish "The Annals of the King's Royal Rifle Corps" which contained his color illustrations of uniforms arms and equipment and other works. From this work it is clear he had artistic aptitude and as an officer in Ceylon undoubtedly a lot of free time to indulge in the creation of this work. It would seem that this work was written with an eye on possible publication but that did not come to be. Few will not be charmed by the many vignettes of badges and coats-of-arms mostly rendered in bright watercolors with some done as ink drawings. Also illustrated are flags and banners. Some of the tissue guards are heavily foxed while the cards proper sometimes have offsetting from this soiling. A large chipped loss to the leather spine with a partial loss of one letter of title. Still a very handsome album. <br /><br /> books
