Royal octavo. Pp. xiii, 688. Plus 22 leaves of lithographic plates and maps, some of which are folding. Includes some chromolithograph maps and a particularly handsome folding coloured panorama "Type de fort a fossés secs". With 280 fine woodcut illustrations to the text. HARDCOVER, bound in the original publisher's dark leaf green cloth, spine gilt; bit rubbed in places, spine slightly worn at extremities, old shelf tickets, old military institutional stamps to title, maps foxed due to paper quality.
