Military Law.- Wellesley (Arthur, Duke of Wellington).- Principles (The) of War... as Developed in a Series of General Orders..., first edition, light foxing and occasional marginal soiling, bookplate removed, contemporary calf-backed boards, rubbed, 1815 § Burn (Richard) A Digest of the Militia Laws, first edition, foxing, ex-library copy with perforated stamp to title, modern cloth, S.Richardson & C.Lintot, 1760 § Napier (Maj.-Gen. Charles J.) Remarks on Military Law and the Punishment of Flogging, first edition, a few leaves torn and creased at lower margin, ex-library copy with label, contemporary half calf, rebacked and recornered, 1837, 8vo (3)*** Although the first is not written or edited by Wellington himself, this clearly draws largely from an analysis of his recorded Orders in the second Peninsular campaign between 1809 and 1814. The hundreds of Orders provide a remarkable record of war management in the early 19th century. The editor's dedication to Wellington ("the Illustrious Hero") is dated June 27, 1815, a mere nine days after Waterloo.
