Pages: [4], 1- 44 to 1st Part; 1- 48 pages to 2nd Part, followed by a double page-table, woodcut initials, head- and tailpieces, handsomely rebound in full panel calf, heavy gilt decoration to spine, raised bands, maroon label with gilt lettering, new endpapers, the collation is the same as in Cockle: Lower margin of engraved title page trimmed off with slight loss to image, pale staining to upper and lower margins throughout, just affecting some images, a few lower margins have small closed tears neatly repaired, page 24 has 2 small repairs to upper margin, not affecting text, plates slightly dusty, minor tiny ink spots to a few pages repaired closed tear to center fold of plate 17, no loss to images, pale staining to center fold and and sligtly dusty and grubby to last plate No.40 (see attached image), all text pages have strong horizontal crease, old ink name scribbled out on upper margin of title page, not affecting image, neat old ink name of previous owner and small partially erazed pale private library stamp on the blank side of title page, a few tiny nicks to margins. A good copy with pale staining. The first work on fortification in English in which the subject is treated scientifically. For though in several of the earlier books in English on the military art in general there are chapters, or sections devoted to this branch, these notices, at best, are fragmentary. Marolois' treatise describes the Dutch system, and has a table showing the dimensions of a fortification. See: Maurice J. D.
