Description from the seller
Marcellin Marbot. Memoirs of General Baron of Marbot, Plon, Nourrit, Paris, 1892, xii-390 pp., 495 pp., 446 pp.
3 volumes in-8 (230x140 mm), blue half-leather binding, smooth gilt-decorated spine (bindings of the period). A small bump on the spine of volume III otherwise a fine set. Some pale foxing
New edition
Portrait of Marbot heliogravure frontispiece in volumes I and II; Illustration of campaign memories as frontispiece in volume III, with two facsimiles at the end of the work
These Memoirs constitute a remarkable testimony to the Napoleonic era, even if for historians specializing in the period — among whom Marc Bloch and Pierre Conard — Marbot often takes many liberties with historical truth.
Volume I: Genoa - Austerlitz - Eylau
Volume II: Madrid - Essling - Torres Vedras
Volume III: Polotsk - The Berezina - Leipzig - Waterloo
