Critical remarks on the work of M. le lieutenantgénéral Rogniat, entitled: Considérations sur l'art de la guerre, by Colonel MARBOT (Paris, Anselin et Pochard, September 1820)| in-8, 2 folding maps, rel. of the period half-brown calf, smooth decorated spine.
A copy of General FOY who annotated it.
Marbot's autograph letter on the back of the forgery: "Homage from the author to Monsieur le Général Foy".
Autograph notes from General Foy, who wrote in the margin of the foreword (pages 1-3): "Colonel Marbot gave me his book. My occupations have not yet allowed me to read it. But I will do it as soon as I can. I am determined to do so by what General Bertrand has just told me today, 11 February 1823. Colonel Marbot's work reached Ste Helene at the beginning of 1821.
The Emperor Napoleon was then under heavy attack from the disease that put him in the tomb. Bertrand going to see him one morning, found him sitting in a large armchair, his head covered with a madras, his face gaunt and looking tired, holding in his hand a book that he had just read all night long: Voilà, Monsieur le maréchal, the best book on the war that has been done for forty years. There are many things in it that I would have said in the same way. The author teaches me about the formation of bodies of things I didn't know. He's quite right. The leader of an eight-thousand-man corps isn't a colonel.
He's a general... Marbot knows a lot. Oh, for that one, if I was still there, I'd make him my aide-de-camp right now."
An autograph note from General Foy, giving instructions to the bookbinder, has been inserted at the top.
