With Original and Unpublished letters From The Prince Of Hesse, Sir George Eliott, The Duc de Crillon, Collingwood, and Lord Nelson, and an Account of the Fourteen Sieges the Rock has sustained since it became a Fortress." Colour frontispiece, title page and fold out map all lightly marked and a little worn, but thereafter all is generally clean and bright, including two further colour plates.
