THE SYSTEM OF INFANTRY DISCIPLINE: According to the Regulation Established for the Army of the United States, 19 March, 1813 (bound with) Explanation of the Plates of the System of Infantry Discipline. n.p., n.p., 1814, First edition. , Original full sheep with gilt spine, octavo (5.5 x 8 inches), viii, 284; (2), 18 + 32 copperplate engravings.. Faint old dampstain to covers and first few pages, moderate foxing and darkening to text and plates, bottom of first plate torn away with some loss of caption, still quite sound and presentable. The first work is divided into 5 parts: "I. The Elementary Instruction of the Soldier; II. The Discipline of the Platoon; III. The Discipline and Evolutions of the Battalion; IV The Manoeuvres of the Line. With an Appendix Forming a Fifth Part Containing the Elements of War, or the Means and Mode of Preparation for War and Conducting Military Operations." Bound with the separately issued volume of plates and descriptive text having its own title page. The copyright notice of the first work records WIlliam Duane as claiming authorship in the District of Pennsylvania. Duane was author of a number of military hand books; this one seems to be the most compendious. Sabin does not acknowledge the separate plate volume. OCLC records the plate volume as a separate publication only. (Sabin 20994, note).

| CRAAN, W.B. (TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH BY CAPTAIN ARTHUR GORE). AN HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO, Fought on the 18th June, 1815.

Covers lightly scuffed, text moderately foxed, still about very good. First published in Brussels the previous year as "Notice Historique sur la Bataille de Waterloo." This English-language Brussel's edition was published without the maps and plates which accompanied the London edition of the same year (the London edtion was likely published subsequent to the Brussels edition). Willem Benjamin Craan (1776-1848) was a Dutch surveyor and cartographer living in Brussels at the time of the battle of Waterloo (June 18, 1815) and he interviewed wounded officers from both sides of the conflict who had been evacuated to the nearby city. From the immediate experiences of the participants, he was thus able to draw a detailed map of the decisive battle which was supplemented by this important written account. Translator, Captain Arthur Gore, fought at Waterloo with the British Army's 30th Regiment of Foot.
