Henry Humphrey Evans Lloyd (c.1718-83) was a Welsh army officer and military writer. This was his most influential book. It was translated into German (five editions) and French (three editions). Possibly from the library of Guillaume Anne baron de Constant Rebecque de Villars (1750-1832) and with his signature on the title-page. The numbering of the plates is quite inscrutable. This edition not in Sloos. - Sold w.a.f. not subject to return.€ 200
