PERSONAL COPY OF GENERAL JAMES WILKINSON (1757-1825) WITH HIS SURNAME GILT STAMPED AT SPINE HEEL AND INK SIGNATURE UPON THE TITLE PAGE. Collation as: [fp], [ffep], [title leaf], [unpaged prelim. leaf from Adjutant General William Fawcett but presumably as vii-viii], ix-xvi, 1-342, b/w foldout Plates 1-16, [rfep], [rp]. Undated title page but OCLC attributes 1797; both 1796 and 1797 are specified on Fawcett page. Hardcover: H 23cm x L 14.25cm. Early 1800s full red leather binding; some soiling, rubbing, and scuffing at edges with bumped corners; gilt tooled spine decoration of two birds atop an urn at compartment centers with unevenly placed shell designs at corners; black title label along with aforementioned black Wilkinson label at heel; three old insect bore holes at heel too; both boards have gilt rope borders; (possibly a Mexican binding as the spine's decorative elements are atypical of contemporary American or British work). Marbled endpapers; peeled remnants of removed bookplate on fp; ffep verso has colored pencil "26" and relatively modern pencil note by a past bookseller; New Hampshire Historical Society circular blind-stamp on title leaf along with Wilkinson's ink signature near top of title page. Mostly light foxing/toning to interior with a few scattered small stains. Binding is firm. Authorship most likely by War Office staff but usually credited to General Sir William Fawcett; however initials "D.D" for General Sir David Dundas appear at text's conclusion at page 342. Standard British Army cavalry text with later editions published in 1799, 1801, 1807, etc. although those three immediate successive editions have 374 pages but only 13 folding plates/diagrams. Inexplicably acquired from a biblio-desolate Columbus, Mississippi estate but with a familial connection to Mississippi State University President Dr. Benjamin Franklin Hilbun (1890-1963) who was a noted bibliophile and served on the faculty from 1925-1960 (president from 1953-1960). Wilkinson has been deservedly vilified by many: Theodore Roosevelt - "In all our history, there is no more despicable character;" historian Robert Leckie - "a general who never won a battle or lost a court-martial;" historian Frederick Jackson Turner - "the most consummate artist in treason that the nation ever possessed;" and a threefold condemnation by Virginia politician John Randolph - "mammoth of iniquity," "most finished scoundrel," and "the only man I ever saw who was from the bark to the very core a villain." A handsome book of late 18th century tactical cavalry training with a wonderfully notorious association.

1p., 4to. Spike hole. In good condition, on aged dusty paper. The letter reads: 'Dear Sir, I must request, as a particular favour, that you will advertise both the "Reply" and the "Letter on the Charges &c" in all the Morning and Evening papers both on Friday, and on Monday next. | I am | Dear Sir, | Very faithfully yours | L: D: Campbell'. From the Cadell and Davies papers, the two books referred to having been published by the firm for Campbell: 'A reply to the strictures of the Edinburgh Review, on the foreign policy of Marquis Wellesley's administration in India' (1807) and 'A letter addressed to a member of the present Parliament on the "Articles of Charge" against Marquis Wellesley' (1808).

See E. A. H. Webb, 'History of the 12th (The Suffolk) Regiment, 1685-1913' (1914). Picton was the uncle of 'the illustrious Picton', Lt-Gen. Sir Thomas Picton (1758-1815), who was his sole executor and residuary legatee.

It is addressed by 'William Picton General in the Army, & Colonel of the 12th Regiment of Foot', to 'Messrs: John, Nicholas, & Brice Pearse, of Lothbury, in the City of London' (according to the article on John Pearse in the History of Parliament, his firm 'operated as Blackwell Hall factors at 41 Lothbury and as army clothiers at 98 Long Acre').
