Military interest: 'REPORT of the COMMISSIONERS appointed to consider the DEFENCES OF THE UNITED KINGDOM; together with the MINUTES OF EVIDENCE and APPENDIX; also CORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO A SITE FOR AN INTERNAL ARSENAL. Presented to both Houses of Parliament by Command of Her Majesty'. London: Printed by George Edward Eyre and William Spottswoode, Printers to the Queen's most excellent Majesty. HMSO 1860. A superbly preserved half-leather bound report. The owner (a bookbinder) has, it appears, fashioned neatly a 'pocket' to inside of rear board to accommodate all the (superbly preserved) maps relevant to the subject. There is a stamp: MASTER COPY NOT TO LEAVE REFERENCE ROOM to ffep. There is some rubbung to the leather portions, but all-in- all, a very well-preserved volume.
