This beautiful volume is a recently rebound first edition and first issue of this title. It is quarto in size and is bound in full leather with raised bands on the spine and gilt lettering and decoration. One of the blank preliminary pages is creased to the upper right and the half-title has a very small chip to the extreme outside (away from the spine). There is virtually no foxing in the book except to the far rear of the text where there is some moderate foxing. By far, most pages are absolutely clean. The book makes a fine presentation. This roughly 120 page work, in the form of Spenserian epic poetry was written in celebration of Wellington's successes in the Peninsular Campaign and all profits were to be donated to Portuguese war sufferers as is explained in the dedication. It is a story of spritual adventure where Don Roderick, the King of Spain, is seen descending into an enchanted cave to learn the outcome of the Moorish invasion. There are also giants present there that reveal more about Spain's future in visions. Including the Moorish dominion after Don Roderick's death up to and including the brilliant victories of Wellington. A magnificent piece of epic poetry. We are pleased to send pictures on request.
