Institutionally this important work is not uncommon, but it is seldom seen on the market.

Hough published his memoirs of the First Afghan War in 1840, A Narrative of the March and Operations of the Army of the Indies, in the expedition to Affghanistan, in the year 1838-39, and subsequently wrote exclusively on Military-Legal matters. As he explains in his “Address”, dedicated to Elliot Macnaghten and William Henry Sykes of the E.I.C., “Having been a Judge-Advocate-General of the Bengal Army for the period of fourteen years, during a service in India of forty years, [I have] had an extensive practice of the duties of a Judge-Advocate, and [have] made military law [my] constant study.”
