Majendie, Captain Vivian Dering: 'DESCRIPTIVE PLATES TO AMMUNITION ILLUSTRATING THE DIFFERENT PROJECTILES, CHARGES, FUZES, ROCKETS, &c., AT PRESENT IN USE FOR LAND AND SEA SERVICE, and on OTHER WAR STORES MANUFACTURE IN THE ROYAL LABORATORY, WOOLWICH (by Col. E.M.Boxer, Supt. R.I.). W.Mitchell and co., Military Publishers, London, 1867. The boards are heavily marked and have been internally sympathetically rebound at the spine by the previous owner, a bookbinder. The key aspect of this volume is, of course the illustrations which appear to be all present and in very clean condition. Very rare. Col. Boxer appears to have signed each plate.
