About This Item
London: for J Davis, 1817. 2 volumes. vi and 550 pages; ii and 209 pages. A fine pair in modern half black calf with cloth sides. Properly speaking there are six journals - the Campaign in Italy by a General Officer, Berthier, Denon and Miot on Egypt and Syria, Petit on Marengo and an anonymous Siege of Genoa presumably attributed by the English publisher to Massena. The last part of the second volume has a separate titlepage and is filled with 'official narratives of the campaigns of Bonaparte since the Peace of Amiens; being a complete collection of the whole of the bulletins'. J Davis also published the Royal Military Chronicle and had already used some of the journals - for example Miot's narrative of Egypt which was first published in English as a supplement to RMC volume 3.The last part of the second volume has the bulletins for the campaigns of the Grande Armee.
