About This Book

A reference work presenting alphabetically arranged entries on military engagements from antiquity to recent conflicts, each entry giving concise accounts of when and where battles occurred, the opposing forces and commanders, troop strengths, conduct and course of action, casualties and outcomes, and campaign context. Brief prefatory and editorial notes explain the compilation and issues with proofing; the volume aims to function as a compact, factual battlefield dictionary for quick consultation rather than interpretive history.

Transcriber’s Note:

The text was printed in two columns, which have not been preserved here. The printer, when setting a reference from one topic to another, sometimes gave the reference on a separate line, but often on a single line. To preserve the regular structure of the entries, the former has been adopted.

In the Preface, the editor informs us that Mr. Harbottle died before he could do the final editorial work (correcting the proofs and preparing the Index.) In light of that apology, we have taken pains to correct the many minor errors which are reasonably attributable to the printer. Please see the transcriber’s note at the end of this text for details.

The cover image was created from information on the title page and is hereby placed in the public domain.

Any corrections are indicated using an underline highlight. Placing the cursor over the correction will produce the original text in a small popup.

Any corrections are indicated as hyperlinks, which will navigate the reader to the corresponding entry in the corrections table in the note at the end of the text.
