FIRST EDITION.
A fine bound copy constituting a valuable record of Soult's campaigns in Spain and Portugal, providing a complement to the unfinished memoirs of the Duke of Dalmatia." "Saint-Chamans refused to rally to Napoleon during the Hundred Days. He was appointed colonel of the dragoons of the Guard on the return of Louis XVIII, inspector of the cavalry in 1822, was part of the Spanish expedition which he prepared over the Pyrenees. His memories of the Restoration are of excellent quality and contain a wealth of information on life at court, the political world and military affairs.
Very good condition.
