Two parts in one volume. The second work is Aelian's The Art of Embattailing an Army. Or the Second Part of Aelians Tacticks, edited by John Bingham. [4], 159, [7], [2 blank]; [6], 93, [1] pp. Engraved title page. 48 engraved plates of various sizes (only, of 50), many folding. Engraved frontispiece to second part, but second part lacking all other plates. (folio) 11½x7½, early calf rebacked, new endpapers.

Interesting, readable early 17th century work on battle tactics. The plates are mostly of various battle formations, with a few showing armor and weaponry, including muskets.
