Description

To give it its full title: "The History of Gibraltar and of its Political Relation to Events in Europe; From the Commencement of the Moorish Dynasty in Spain to the Last Morocco War. With Original and Unpublished letters From The Prince Of Hesse, Sir George Eliott, The Duc de Crillon, Collingwood, and Lord Nelson, and an Account of the Fourteen Sieges the Rock has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. Attractive nautical bookplate of Paul Latcham to front pastedown. Signs of label removal here and faint trace of accession number to spine indicate library use, but not evident elsewhere. Rebound in smart red buckram, a little faded to spine. 8vo. vi, 520pp + publisher's list.
