Count Yorck von Wartenburg – Napoleon as a General (1902)

This English Wolseley FIRST EDITION of Napoleon as a General is in two volumes and was published by Kegan, Paul, Trench, Trübner & Co. Ltd. in 1902.  For its age, being 121 years old, this book is in pretty good condition.  The spines are discoloured by age related sunlight and the tops and bottoms of the spines are understandably showing some wear.  The rear cover of Volume 1 has some marks, but overall, the covers are in remarkably good condition for books being well over one hundred years old.  The inside covers of both volumes are in good condition, as is the page opposite.  The next page on Volume 1, has some writing on the title page, which is in fountain pen and is dated 12/12/02.  As I have owned the volumes for over twenty years, the ‘02’, must mean ‘1902’, which was just after the volumes were printed.  The gutters and hinges in both volumes are in excellent condition.

Weight of the two volumes: 1.996kg

Size of the two volumes:  223 x 158 x 86mm

Pages:  Volume 1 = 373 pages and Volume 2 = 453.
