Orme (Edward, publisher). Historic, Military, and Naval Anecdotes of personal valour, bravery, and particular incidents which occurred to the armies of Great Britain and her allies, in the last long-contested war, terminating with the Battle of Waterloo, London: Edward Orme 1819, 40 fine hand-coloured aquatint plates, list of subscribers, some text and plates bound out of sequence, a few short closed marginal tears, a little minor spotting and offsetting, previous owner signature of W. Raleigh Plowden to title, his bookplate, hinges a little tender, all edges gilt, contemporary red blindstamped calf gilt, some wear at spine ends and corners, a little rubbed and scuffed, folio, 460 x 210 mm (18 x 8.25 in) (Qty: 1) Abbey Life 376; Tooley 353. Early state with the title dated, without the rules beneath 'Battle of Waterloo' on title and two text leaves unpaginated (i.e. 'Corporal Logan Killing a French Colonel' and 'The Allies Before Dantzic in Winter'). 'According to Tooley the undated issue carries text paged to '98', and the dated only to page '94'. This is incorrect, all 98 pages being present in complete copies, but it should be noted that pages 95 to 98 are without pagination in the dated issue.' (Abbey Life). Probably a proof copy with 'Edward Orme' completed in manuscript to blank portion of title and plate imprints.
