Item description from seller

With a folding map to the rear and folding table of army corps in the text. . The Spectator reviewed the work favourably - 'Captain Barrington works out in great detail an imaginary campaign fought by an enemy on the soil of England. He supposes our Fleet to have been disabled, and a hundred and fifty thousand men, divided into two armies, landed on our coast. These are very large postulates. Has such an army, or anything like such an army, been ever transported by sea ? The Allied forces in the Crimea amounted at first to about a third of the number, and their transport required the assemblage of the very largest fleet that had ever been seen. But the preliminaries being granted, the narrative of operations is well imagined. The author takes into account the nature of our country, and describes the operations on both sides with much clearness and force.' A scarce Future War story following on from the trend set in 1871 by the novella 'The Battle of Dorking'. . Includes a siege of London, its defences illustrated in the map. Uneven fading to the red covers otherwise VG . Very scarce.
