Estimada edição, última revista pelo autor, de um dos mais importantes textos sobre a Guerra Peninsular. William Napier (1785-1860), General inglês e historiador que lutou na Guerra Peninsular em Espanha e Portugal, escreveu este texto baseado nas suas próprias experiências em combate, bem como das informações fornecidas pelo Duque de Wellington e pelo Marechal francês Nicolas-Jean de Dieu Soult. Depois de se retirar em 1819, Napier começou a escrever a sua história em 1823, tendo sido recebida com aclamação pelas suas descrições vigorosas das batalhas. Ainda hoje, um texto de referência. Edição rara e estimada, ilustrada com 55 gravuras impressas à parte. Dic. Bib. da Guerra Peninsular, v. II, p. 356 | "Napier, Sir William Francis Patrick." Encyclopædia Britannica.
