A very rare record of the forces engaged on both the Spanish and French sides during the Peninsular War (1808-1814).
It comprises a sequence of 149 tables arranged chronologically, from the state of the regular troops in 1808, prior to the French intervention, through to 10 March 1814.
Though unofficial in nature, it constitutes an essential source for historians of the period.
