£2,500 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

An excellent volume comprising an overview of the disastrous expedition to capture Buenos Aires led by John Whitelocke. Here we have both an account of the expedition, plus the full transcript of the trial. The 24pp of tipped in notes are transcripts of general orders made during the expedition. Of greater interest are the annotations, which appear mostly in the first title. They are written by someone clearly knowledgeable of the expedition and whose annotations provide extra information or information clarifying the text. He was likely connected to the expedition. Palau, 375051; Sabin, 103672 103680.
