Mémoire sur la carrière militaire et politique de M. le général comte de Boigne, suivi de notes historiques

Second edition, partly original as enlarged, illustrated with a lithographed frontispiece and two lithographed plates printed hors-texte.

Bradel binding in full paper boards covered with red shell-patterned paper, smooth spine, red shagreen title label, restored wrappers preserved and mounted on guards, modern binding.

This memoir, published by order of the Royal Academic Society of Savoy, of which the Comte de Boigne was president, notably recounts his travels in India.

Benoît Leborgne, Comte de Boigne, served in India and received from Prince Sindiah the supreme command of his troops, to whom he imparted European discipline and manoeuvres.

With them he won resounding victories. Upon the sovereign's death, the celebrated general returned to his native city and made numerous donations to the city of Chambéry.

George-Marie Raymond succeeded the count at the head of the Royal Society of Savoy.

The illustration consists of three portraits: that of the Comte de Boigne, placed as the frontispiece, and those of the Mughal emperors Maladjy-Sindia and Shah-Aulum.
