Two variant editions were published by Michaud in 1814 with identical title-page and identical 16 preliminary pages of the Préface and Avant-propos. The rest of the text, however, is set differently. The present copy conforms the copy at Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin. It requires 421 pages for completion while the variant uses less compact type and needs 480 pages to complete the identical text. The typeset of the variant includes also some errors and misprints which had to be corrected in Errata note. A later edition appeared in 1864. The engraved maps and plates are particularly handsome. The large folding map has troop’s movements and progress coloured by hand. It is titled “Carte du Théâtre de la Guerre en Russie et en Allemagne pendant 1812 et 1813” and is apparently engraved in preparation for Sarrazin’s book “Histoire de la Guerre de la Restauración” (1815). No confirmation could be found for the presence of this map in the variant edition. ! 620

Antique Bronze Cannon and Mortars Original Single-Sheet Tinted Lithographs First edition. Printed on heavy paper with very wide margins. Several of the finest bronze cannon and mortar barrels which were captured in the East Indies by the soldiers of the First-, Second-, and Third Dutch Expedition Force (1846, 1847, and 1849 respectively) were brought to the Netherlands as a gift to the King. In 1880, the artists father and son Van Looy made an elaborately detailed and delicately executed set of lithographs, drawn on stone, of practically the entire booty. The prints were pulled by the famous stone-lithographers firm of S. Lankhout & Co., of The Hague, and published in 1881 by Publisher Gouda Quint, of Arnhem. Beautifully decorative.

¶ First edition. Jordan 3382. Lieutenant Colonel Viktor Ernst Rudolph von Scheliha, a Prussian, served as Chief of Staff to General Buckner and acted also later as Chief Engineer of the Department of the Gulf, at Mobile. An English Officer, Captain Fitzgerald Ross, met him there in February 1864: “The Colonel is engaged in erecting a new line of forts round Mobile, which are perfect models of strength and judicious arrangements. They are built entirely of sand, with revetments of turf along. The turf on the embankments is fastened down to the sand by slips of the Cherokee rose,an exceedingly prickly shrub, which when grown will become a very disagreeable obstacle to a storming party. Mobile will soon be one of the mostly strongly fortified places in the world.” (See: Mahin: “The Blessed Place of Freedom: Europeans in Civil War America” 2002; Lonn: “Foreigners in the Confederacy” 1940, reprinted 2002; Tidwell: “Come Retribution: The Confederate Secret Service and the Assassination of Lincoln” 2001). In his heart, Scheliha remained a Prussian: “Treatise on Coast-Defence” is humbly dedicated to Prince Adelbert of Prussia. ! 860
