1798 Napoleonic War Letters 1^ed Napoleon Propaganda Admiral Nelson EGYPT Map

Early in the Napoleon Wars, the British Navy, led by Lord Horatio Nelson, intercepted French intelligence and seized numerous letters detailing motives and direction of the French army. These letters were published as a strong piece of anti-French propaganda and served as an affront to the French campaign in Egypt.

This two-part first edition was an important piece of Napoleonic War memorabilia and has proved to be a highly desirable work since it was first published.
