THE HISTORY OF LORD SEATON'S REGIMENT (The 52nd Light Infantry) At The Battle of Waterloo Vol.1 [Signed & Inscribed]

First edition is scarce in any order, however this copy moreso as charmingly inscribed by Leeke to half title thus: "This work is presented to my dear son Henry Leeke, with many prayers that God's choicest blessings may be poured out upon him, by his affectionate father, William Leeke. Holbrooke Hall. December 18 1866". In generally good internal condition throughout, with light toning and minimal spotting. Tissue-guarded frontispiece is loose however and laid in, but could be neatly repaired. The three plans of Waterloo are present and correct as required. Red bevel-edged boards with gilt and black decoration and titling worn to edges, moreso to head and foot of dulled spine, with small splits at head. Volume one only of two. This is a charity sale for Friends Of Morston Church (reg.1099831). 8vo. xx, 411pp
