Preface
This edition was first published by Macmillan and Company in 1871 and is a First Edition. The Hardcover in Sewn Binding. “The Daily News Correspondence of the War Between Germany and France,” taken from the years 1870-1871, “complete in one volume / with maps and plans,” as the title page announces. All inserts of said “maps and plans” are present in this volume. Between pages 18-19, 92-93, 148-149, & 291-292. As the title suggests, the topic surveyed is the Franco-Prussian War (19 July 1870 – 10 May 1871), which, as the Encyclopedia Britannica states, was a “war in which a coalition of German states led by Prussia defeated France. The war marked the end of French hegemony in continental Europe and resulted in the creation of a unified Germany.”
As the book’s short preface declares, “In the present volume the story of the war is related from its Declaration, in the summer of 1870, to the conclusion of a peace crowned by the occupation of Paris….Our aim has not been to anticipate the verdict of history, but to present in due order a series of life-like pictures of some of the greatest military events of the century.” Hardcover without dust jacket, in red cloth boards, as issued: this First Edition of this increasingly scarce, obscure hardboiled history of the Franco-Prussian War.
