Mais ce ne sont pas des mémoires à proprement parler : c'est une oeuvre de technique militaire, dans laquelle l'auteur passe en revue tout ce qu'un bon officier doit connaitre et Èmet de nombreuses réflexions que lui suggere son expérience de la guerre. Il ne s'en tient pas uniquement à la théorie pure : il choisit des exemples de sièges, de batailles, de marches, etc., pour prouver l'utilité de ses réflexions et fait ainsi, souvent avec de grands détails, l'histoire des faits militaires principaux qui se sont produits dans la seconde moitié du XVIIe siecle".

Very good.</p><p>Second edition published in the same year as the first.</p><p>From the library of Captain Colin Campbell of Kilberry with his armorial bookplate with the motto "Ne Oublie Pas" signed "R.M." R. Mountaine on the front pastedown and the ownership names of "Kilberry" and "Minard" handwritten at the head of the title page.</p><p>"CAMPBELL COLIN d. 1782 of Kilberry major of 100th foot obtained an unenviable notoriety in consequence of a fatal assault committed by him on Captain John McKaarg or Macharg a brother officer while stationed at the island of Martinico in 1762. The cause of difference is said to have originated at Jersey where Campbell at that time major-commandant of the 100th foot was obliged to take the payment of McKaarg's company out of his hands owing to the latter's pecuniary difficulties. On the arrival of the regiment at Martinico McKaarg took every opportunity of vilifying Campbell who demanded in writing an explanation. McKaarg replied in a curt letter. Campbell immediately proceeded to McKaarg's tent armed with a bayonet and a small-sword and demanded satisfaction. McKaarg having a broad sword only endeavoured to evade a meeting. Thereupon Campbell struck him several times with his sword. McKaarg was compelled by his antagonist to beg for his life and immediately expired. He had received eleven wounds two of which were mortal. Campbell was arrested and on 6 April 1762 was tried for murder by a general court-martial held at Fort Royal. He endeavoured to prove that McKaarg had fallen in a fair duel. On 14 April the court adjudged Campbell to be cashiered and declared him incapable of serving his majesty in any military employment whatsoever. Pending the king's consideration of the sentence Campbell escaped from the island. Owing to some informalities the proceedings were not confirmed but he was immediately dismissed from the army. . The relatives of Captain McKaarg subsequently brought an action of assythment against Campbell and ultimately damages. were awarded to them. Campbell chiefly resided in Edinburgh where he attracted notice by his foppery and was well known as an antiquated old beau. In the summer he visited Buxton and the other fashionable watering-places of the day. He died unmarried at Edinburgh in 1782 and his estate at Kilberry in Argyllshire descended to his nephew." Quoted from the Dictionary of National Biography volume 8 page 349. The Oxford Dictionary of Biography gives Campbell's death date as 1798.</p><p>"The action of assythment is now no more than a legal antiquity but in 1767 we find its scope and character were the subject of much discussion in the Court. It appears that while the 100th Regiment of Foot had been fighting the French in Martinique Captain Colin Campbell of Kilberry had killed Captain Macharg a brother officer in a quarrel. For this offence he was cashiered by sentence of court-martial. Captain Macharg's relatives brought an action of assythment in the Court of Session. In the defence of Captain Campbell it was pled that assythment was a proceeding for infliction of a fine and not for payment of damages and that Captain Campbell having already been tried and punished could be liable to no further legal proceedings for the same offence. Assythment was said apparently with reason to have been instituted to take the place of the right of private vengeance which early law allowed to the relatives of a murdered man and to have been regarded more as a criminal penalty than as a civil reparation. His counsel quoted Balfour's Practicks to the effect that assythment was paid 'to the kin bairins and freindis in contentation of their damnage and for pacifying of their rancor' and Bankton who had laid it down that assythment was given to the wife and nearest. of-kin 'that they might be reconciled to the manslayer.' Captain Macharg's relatives however were successful in maintaining on the other hand that assythment was an action for payment of reparation and not of a fine and the Court remitted to the Lord Ordinary to fix the amount." Quoted from "The Green Bag" 1889-1914 volume 15 page 442.</p> London: Printed for J. Hodges, at the Looking-glass on London-Bridge, MDCCXL [1740]. hardcover

17932978Printed by John Parker; Philadelphia; 1793. 1793 Disbound else good plus. Book block is 7 3/4 x 5 inches iv 5-104 pp. complete. From the preface by the translator William Cobbett: "To the Citizens of the United States: What is called common report is always contradictory and of course produces a conflict of opinions; the reader acquires no solid information he becomes the dupe of a faction or finds himself in total uncertainty. The fall of the celebrated man who is the subject of these sheets has spread has spread universal astonishment; the causes of it have been greedily enquired into and fame with her double tongue has sported with the credulity of her hearers. You the citizens of America have been excited to this enquiry by something more than mere curiosity and for that reason have been more exposed to deception. To do justice to La Fayette as well as to those who have persecuted him in the minds of a people who feel such a lively interest in every thing that concerns the honor and welfare of the French nation. I present the public with the following pieces which contain all that can be said upon the subject. In the notes I have been obliged to subjoin I have cautiously avoided hinting an opinion; I have every where observed the most scrupulous impartiality and if the reader would arrive at truth he must do the same. The speeches of Mr. Brissot and Mr. Vaublanc considered as orations merely are perhaps equal if not superior to any ever delivered in the National Assembly. As to the translation if it have any merit it is in rendering faithfully the sense of the original." 3214006. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Good. Printed by John Parker; Philadelphia; 1793. paperback
