History | rare & collectable

Half title reads: The Marquis Of Wellesley's History of the Marhatta War. Half red leather binding, marbled boards, gilt title and crest on spine.

The 'illustrated' in the title does not mean that the book has illustrations, but that the text uses the battle plans to illustrate the history.

There are 4 foldout appendices in the book set out as tables:

 Estimated Stength of Scindiah's Regular Infantry ...

 A Return of the Killed, Wounded and Missing [under Wellesley's command] at Assye ...

 A Return of the Killed and Wounded   [under Harcourt's command] September-October 1803

 A Return of Officers and Men Killed and Wounded in the action of First November 1803.
