A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Reissued more than 170 years after its first publication, a facsimile edition of one of the accounts of the Peninsular War.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

The following pages have occupied and amused the leisure of my winter evenings, in a dull uninteresting garrison on home service. I relate what I saw, thought, and felt, as a man, a traveller, and a soldier, during five interesting years. The style of a soldier can need no apology; it is beneath the notice of a scholar and the critic. We pass our lives in conversing with mankind; they in conversing with books. We only observe and draw hasty conclusions ;they observe, compare, and study. Ours is a life of action; theirs of repose. We write to amuse; they to instruct.

Conditions d'exp�dition

Shipping rates to most European countries & the USA are now based upon the weight of the book, so ( all things being equal ) the price for shipping is the true cost of sending your book. So, a small paperback will be far cheaper than a large tome - CHEERS ABE FOR THIS. All items are packed individually and to a very high standard, using only easily recyclable materials. We DO NOT just stick the book in a polythene mailer with a prayer.
