Item description from seller

Eighth and final edition of Adye's important artillery aide-memoire. Originally published in 1801 with a revised second edition issued in 1802. A further four editions were issued up to 1809 (essentially reprints). In 1813 the work was fully revised and expanded by William Granville Eliot for the seventh edition. This final edition was again revised by Eliot: 'In the present edition many articles which had become obsolete have been expunged and in their place others substituted; the numbers in the exercises have been changed according to the present system.' Paper covered boards with paper title label to spine (a 20th century rebind). Marbled page edges. Slight foxing to the title label and front free endpaper, light rubbing to boards. Excellent solid binding and very clean text throughout. Very scarce. Overall condition is Very Good Plus. Size: 4 x 5.85 inches (10 x 14.5 cm). Hardback. Printed pages: 12mo, vi, 396, [12], (index).
