A very scarce account fo the Peninsula War with just two copies listed at auction.

This copy came through the rooms in 2022 and belonged to Lieut-Col. Charles Waring Darwin (1855-1928) of the 68th Durham Light Infantry. He was a distant relation of the naturalist Charles Darwin (second cousin one removed).

The other, in 1914, belonged to Robert Louis Stevenson.
