Mariano D'Ayala - Memorie storico-militari dal 1734 al 1815 - 1835

Historical-military memories from 1734 to 1815, a fundamental historical essay written by Mariano D'Ayala and published in Naples by Francesco Fernandes' Typographia in 1835 in the original edition. The volume opens with the famous dedication "To Carlo Filangieri" and examines in detail the military events of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, including the expeditions of 1734, the campaigns of 1793, the uprisings and events of 1799, the sieges of Gaeta in 1806 and 1815, the Capri operations, and the Bourbon and Napoleonic campaigns. The copy is bound in rigid contemporary or slightly later parchment paper with a handwritten title on the spine. Inside the title page there is a handwritten ink-era note along the outer margin. The pages are solid and well preserved, with widespread foxing and browning of the time that do not at all compromise the legibility of the text. In 16°, 417 pages.
