So z.B. im ersten Abschnitt, 'Des troupes Prussiennes, de leurs défauts et de leur avantages': "Nos régimens sont composés; moitié de gens du pays, moitié d'étrangers, qui ont été enrôlés pour de l'argent. Ces derniers, n'ayant rien qui les attache, n'attendent que la première occasion pour s'en aller. Il s'agit donc d'empêcher la désertion." (p. 6). In 14 Punkten werden Vorbeugemassnahmen gegen dieses weit verbreitete und anhaltende Problem aufgelistet. "Bei einem derartigen Rekruten-Material war natürlich die Desertion ungeheuer. Kaum eine militärische Schrift des Königs, die sich nicht mit der Verhütung der Desertion beschäftigte." (H. Delbrück, Kriegskunst, Bd. 4, 1920, p. 289 u. ff., vgl. passim bes. pp. 348 ff.; einen authentischen Bericht über Rekrutierung, Kriegseinsatz und Desertion, konkret aus der Schlacht von Lobositz/Lowositz/Lovosice am 1. Oktober 1756, gibt Ulrich Bräker in seiner Autobiographie 'Lebensgeschichte und Natürliche Ebenteuer des Armen Mannes im Tockenburg'). - Inhalt : 28 detaillierte 'Articles' zu den militärischen Führungsaufgaben: von Verpflegung u. Logistik (De la subsistance des troupes), 'Landeskundigkeit' (De la conoissance du pays) u. Rekognoszierung, zu Feldlager, Aufklärung (Des espions), Strategie u.

Publisher's original buff boards printed in black (front cover lacking), spine perished. 16 engraved plates, mostly double-page or folding, comprising maps, battle plans, and views. Scattered foxing throughout, sold as a collection of plates. Issued in three volumes, with two volumes of text and one atlas volume. This the second edition of the atlas volume, first published in 1828. Suchet's famous Memoirs on Napoleon's campaigns in Spain between 1808 and 1814. Louis Gabriel Suchet (1770-1826), Duke of Albufera, was one of Napoleon's most brilliant generals. After participating in the siege of Zaragoza, he was appointed general of the army of Aragon and governor of the province, which, through wise administration and courage, he brought to submission in two years. He defeated Blake's army at María on June 14, 1809, and on April 22, 1810, inflicted a severe defeat on O'Donnell. After being named Marshal of France on July 8, 1811, he achieved the conquest of Valencia in 1812, for which he was rewarded with the title of Duke of Albufera. By Louis XVIII he was made a peer of France on June 4, but, having helped Napoleon during the "hundred days", he was deprived of his nobility on July 24, 1815.…

Contém nas páginas preliminares do primeiro volume índice dos capítulos [e no segundo volume] e uma nota preliminar. Obra com um total de 21 capítulos divididos entre os volumes, primeiro volume do 1.º ao 10.º Cap., e o segundo com os restantes Cap. Um dos relatos militares mais importantes da Guerra Peninsular. Estas memórias detalham as estratégias administrativas e militares usadas por Suchet, e que o tornaram o único marechal de Napoleão a conquistar o seu bastão de marechal exclusivamente pelas suas vitórias em Espanha. A obra foca-se nas operações militares em Aragão, na Catalunha e em Valência. Ao contrário de outros generais franceses, Suchet destacou-se pela sua capacidade de pacificar e administrar as províncias ocupadas, reduzindo a resistência local através de uma governação considerada justa e eficiente para a época. Louis-Gabriel Suchet, duque d'Albufera da Valencia (Lyon , França, 1770 - Marselha, 1826,) foi um marechal da França, um dos mais brilhantes generais de Napoleão, e notável comandante dos exércitos de Aragão na Guerra Peninsular. Em 1792, ao servir como voluntário na cavalaria da guarda nacional, demonstrou habilidades militares que lhe garantiram uma rápida promoção. Esteve presente no cerco de Toulon em 1793 e, após servir no Tirol em 1797 e também na Suíça em 1797-1798, foi nomeado chefe do estado-maior de Guillaume Brune. [EN] 2 volumes in octavo. 21×13.5 cm. li, [i in blank], 376; ix, [i in blank], 570, [iv] pages. Bindings with gilt tooled leather spines. Illustrated within the text; the final pages contain tables of statistical data; the first volume features a portrait of the author by Paulin-Guérin, from the National Museum of the Palace of Versailles, protected by a sheet of tracing paper, opposing the title page; in the second volume 2 fold-out tables, the first on the origin of revenue and the second on the origin of expenditure, relating to note 47 on page 406, in the margin. Copy with leather flaws and damage on the caps; an oleographic stamp from Livraria Antiga e Moderna on the rear pastedown; damp stains and water marks. One atlas is missing. The preliminary pages of the first volume contain a table of contents [and the second volume] and a preliminary note. The work comprises a total of 21 chapters divided between the two volumes: the first volume contains Chapters 1 to 10, and the second volume contains the remaining chapters. One of the most important military accounts of the Peninsular War. These memoirs detail the administrative and military strategies employed by Suchet, which made him the only one of Napoleon?s marshals to earn his marshal?s baton solely through his victories in Spain. The work focuses on military operations in Aragon, Catalonia and Valencia. Unlike other French generals, Suchet distinguished himself through his ability to pacify and administer the occupied provinces, reducing local resistance through a style of governance considered fair and efficient for the time. Louis-Gabriel Suchet, Duke of Albufera of Valencia (Lyon, France, 1770 ? Marseille, 1826), was a Marshal of France, one of Napoleon?s most brilliant generals, and a notable commander of the armies of Aragon during the Peninsular War. In 1792, whilst serving as a volunteer in the National Guard cavalry, he demonstrated military skills that secured him a rapid promotion. He was present at the siege of Toulon in 1793 and, after serving in the Tyrol in 1797 and also in Switzerland in 1797?1798, was appointed chief of staff to Guillaume Brune.
