[Coxe, William:]

Atlas to the Memoirs of John Duke of Marlborough; containing Armorial Bearings, Fac Similes, Maps and Military Plans.

London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, 1820. Slim 4to., contains all 22 items listed on the 'Order of Arrangement for the Plates and References' leaf, but lacks the leaf itself (a copy is loosely inserted for reference). Items include coats of arms, facsimile letters and many folding maps, some hand coloured or with paper overlays to show the positions and movements of troops. Two of the folding maps have a very short tear near the stub attachment (ie. 'Plan of the Battle of Malplaquet' and 'Plan of the Operations of the Confederate and French Forces on the Moselle and Saar'). Small loss to bottom edge of title-page not affecting text, a little sporadic foxing, some faint smudgy marks toward fore-edge. Recent half calf binding, spine gilt, marbled boards, title in gilt to leather panel in centre of front board. Spine a little sunned, very good. Discreet binder's label of Canterbury Bookbinders to front pastedown. Originally issued as an accompaniment to the octavo second edition of William Coxe's Marlborough's Memoirs (1820). The same material was also reproduced as the final volume of the quarto edition of the Memoirs (1817-1820). The selection of materials is designed to illustrate Marlborough's (1650-1722) reputation as one of the finest commanders in British military history.
