The Campaigns of Marshal Turenne, Volumes I and II (Pallas Armata series) (Two Volumes)

Complete in two volumes.  Two stapled booklets in printed light card wraps, with illustrations.  8vos.  Covers are a little rubbed at extreme edges and slightly faded in margins.  Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. These two booklets contain between them an extract from General Edward Cust's Warriors of the 17th Century (London, 1867-69), with illustrations drawn from several sources. Pallas Armata (literally Armed Athena, and also the title of a 1639 treatise on rapier fencing) was  a series of reprints of important period memoirs and historical works published specifically for members of wargaming societies during the 1990s.   It was intended to make rare and valuable works widely available at reasonable cost.  The series was published by Gareth Simon, himself a wargamer, of Tonbridge in Kent.
