Item description from seller

8pp following ads for Chauchard's Maps with list of subscribers. Disbound. 111, (1), (8)pp. The author gives a remarkable assessment of the recently engaged Russians troops: 'These rude and hardy barbarians, regardless of life, accustomed to fatigue, inured to every extremity of hunger and cold, rushed on their opponents with that incautious fury which an opinion of superiority inspires. Their loss was dreadful, but their career was not to be impeded'.
