Sobre este item
London: William Clowes and Sons, 2002. This is a Fine copy of a facsimile edition published by Pierway in an edition LIMITED to 750 copies. "Bayonet Exercise" was originally published in 1853 and is one of the high spots for the Burton collector. Considered an influential work of militaria quite separately from Burton's later fame as a Victorian polymath. Extremely rare in the original. Penzer [41-42] notes "This is probably the rarest of all Burton's books, and forms one of the most important works on the bayonet ever published." Bright red textured cloth binding, decoratively stamped and ruled on the covers, with gilt titling on the front. Clean text; 36 pages, with a four-page publisher catalog of the publisher's military titles in the rear; marbled endpapers. . Facsimile Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
