Back with five nerves ornate coffered and gilded finials, and a piece of red morocco. Caps absent center serving the cap head half detached. A small loss in the joint line. Corners bumped. Scuffs. Practical treatise of fortification with ways to strengthen in France, Spain, Italy and Holland paper. The book consists of a glossary of practical maxims on the measures and how to fortify and defend. Interestingly, in different sections, choice of land, etc., marked by the geometry; it seems to be indeed the most original feature of this Treaty fortification. So we find in this book a few speeches, but concrete evidence of measures and use of geometry to differentiate ways to strengthen. --- Please note that the translation in english is done automatically, we apologize if the formulas are inaccurate.
