Description
1825 Sketches of INDIA & Peninsula WAR Sherer Napoleonic Portugal 2in1 Napoleon



Moyle Sherer was a 19th-century travel writer best-known for his books “Sketches of India” and “Recollections of the Peninsula”. As a British army officer, Sherer led his corps into Portugal during the Peninsular War and was heavily involved in many of the battles there, including the Battle of Maya, where he was captured and taken prisoner. Following the end of the war, Sherer wrote a memoir of his experiences in Portugal, published under the title “Recollections of the Peninsula”.



He also visited India in 1818 where he wrote his Sketches of India where he described his discoveries and encounters in Calcutta, plants and animals that caught his eye, foods, cultures and lifestyles, the state of the Ganges River, and much, much more.



Both titles are included in this 1825 London edition. Sherers two best works, published in one tome.
