1st Edition? 12mo. pp. 40; folding engraved frontispiece plan of the battle. No wrappers. Almost certainly the first edition of this work which is rare with only the National Maritime Museum holding a copy. Later editions had a different representation of the battle of Trafalgar which identified individual ships with a key. It is likely that this edition was rushed out following the news of Nelson's death and later editions were amended to show the correct disposition of the fleets. Seller Inventory # 46225
