Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Illustrated Edition. Grundsätze der höhern Kriegskunst und Beispiele ihrer zweckmässigen Anwendung für die Generale der österreichischen Armee.

Six plates have hand-coloured engraved movable flaps. Publisher's marbled boards;moroco spine with label. First illustrated edition of the author's strategic guide lines for advanced warfare issued in a very limited number of copies for presentation only to general officers. We offer the personal copy of General Franz Baron von Cordon (1796-1869), later Austrian War Minister (until 1849). The original text, first published in 1806, is here enlarged and enriched with 25 fine hand-coloured engraved maps and plans accompanied by explanatory texts; moveable flaps have been added to plates 7, 12, 14, 18, and 21 to illustrate changes in battle line and tactics during the campaign; plate 8 demonstrates square formations attacking Turkish positions; plates 9 11 represent troop movements to protect convoys. Archduke Karl (1771-1848), Austrian commander-in-chief from 1806, carried through far-reaching army reforms in line with the changes in warfare experienced during the early Napoleonic campaigns, where the Austrian army has been defeated.His memoranda treat the principles of offensive and defensive warfare, fortresses, winter campaigns, the formation of arsenals, marching orders, tactical defence positions, the defensive crossing of rivers, the protection of supply lines by convoys, skirmishing, the Turkish campaign, and recent army reforms. In the year following publication, the archduke succeeded in defeating Napoleon in the battle of Aspern-Esslingen. The present work was highly recommended by Marshal Marmont, one of the author's distinguished French opponents, who discussed it in his Esprit des Institutions Militaires (1845). The Archduke's instructions for infantry and light cavalry written in 1798 remain unpublished.

London: Dean & Son. [1859.] 8vo. Publisher's illustrated boards depicting the building of a cottage to upper and publisher's advertisements to lower for 'One Shilling Juvenile Coloured Picture Toy Books' and 'Children's Moveable Coloured Picture Books', rose endpapers with publisher's printed advertisements; ff. [16], handcoloured moveable illustrations and text to 8 ff. with interleaved blanks pasted to conceal rivets, most now loose); rebacked at a later date with black cloth, boards slightly rubbed corners and extremities lightly worn; a few light marks to interleaved blanks, a few small losses to interleaved blanks when detached from illustration leaves, a few short closed tears surrounding rivets only one of two movable elements are working in the first, seventh and eighth images, the fourth illustration no longer moving, the third illustration sometime repaired to verso with paper; illustrations remain bright and clean, overall a very good copy.An early example of a children's moveable book, with hand-coloured illustrations actuated by rivets operated from a single pull-tab, recounting the tale of how Ned Nimble built a cottage along with his brothers, Patrick and Stephen.The book begins with Ned Nimble digging the foundations for his cottage, watched over by his loyal dog, Snap. Ned is soon aided by his little brother, 'pumping out water for mixing the mortar' which makes light work of the brickwork. Then the woodwork begins in the fourth illustration, a strikingly precarious scene, where Patrick (or at least his head) protrudes from the dark saw-pit while Ned stands on the log above, the saw moving between them as the tab is pulled. Eventually, the building work is complete, 'and the next day with glee, all the folks came to see / Ned Nimble's Cottage completed.' Dean and Son, founded in London before 1800, and turned their attention in the mid-nineteenth century to the production of movable books, issuing around fifty titles between 1860 and 1900. As the production of these books was costly and labour-intensive, Dean & Son issued the work under several variant titles to increase novelty, amongst them The Story of Ned Nimble and How He Built His Pretty New House, The History of How Ned Nimble Built His Cottage (c. 1857-1865), and Dean's New Moveable Book of ye Historie of How Ned Nimble Did Build Hys Cottage (c. 1864). Our variant appears to be the earliest of these, with the publisher's code including the date of [May] '59 below the advertisements to the rear board.OCLC and Library Hub locate six copies, five of which in North America (BYU, McGill, and Princeton, Texas A&M, and Texas Woman's), and only one in the UK (Bodleian).Brown, p. 55; Montanaro pp. 97-98.…
