GIBRALTAR. A Description of Gibraltar, with An Account of the Blockade, Siege, the Attempt by Nine Sail of Fire-Ships, the Sally made from the Garrison, and every Thing remarkable of worthy Notice that has occurred in that Place since the Commencement of the Spanish War: Likewise The vast Importance of this valuable Fortress to Great Britain clearly stated and explained. London, Printed for B. Cornwell, 1782.

8vo. Stitched as issued, entirely uncut, mid 20th-century grey cloth; pp. [ii], 52, engraved frontispiece, bound without final advertisement leaf for an 'oriental vegetable cordial'; small central stab hole, frayed edges: povenance: ink stamp of an artillery school on rear paste-down, recent armorial bookplate inside front cover of Cefntilla, the family seat of the Barons Raglan.

Extremely rare first edition. This publication, instigated by the Admiralty, combines a thorough description of the British possession with a very detailed blow-by-blow account of the Great Siege of Gibraltar, the thwarted attempt by Spain and France to capture Gibraltar from the British during the American War of Independence.

Provenance: Following the death of Fitzroy James Henry Somerset, 1st Baron Raglan (1788-1855), commander of allied forces during the Crimean War, 1,623 of his friends, admirers, and comrades purchased the estate of Cefntilla Court in Monmouthshire, Wales, presenting the home to Richard Somerset, 2nd Baron Raglan (1817-1884) and his heirs in perpetuity as a memorial in remembrance of his father's contribution to the British military.

Size up, great quality
Number of Items: 3, Color: Grey/Blue/Sea, Size: X-Small
I ordered the XS and I have to say they run small. They fit my 2 year old not 6 year old. So size up. But honestly love the quality of Amazon essential shirts. I buy these for my kids pjs they are very soft

Comfy and Cool Shark Shirt
Number of Items: 1, Color: Ivory Sharks, Size: X-Small
We live near the beach, so I love finding ocean themed clothing for my little grandson. He loves this colorful swimming sharks crew neck t-shirt. He says it looks "cool." The cotton blend material is soft and and gentle against his skin. It's breathable and slightly stretchy. . The stitching is straight and consistent with no loose threads. We have fun talking about the different sharks, and the shirt looks great with his everyday jeans, joggers, or shorts. If you want some growing room, I suggest ordering a size up. The 5T is just a little long and roomy in the shoulders for my grandson who usually wears size 4. For laundering, I turn the shirt inside out and wash on cold to preserve the print. I haven't noticed any shrinkage or fading. I've been drying it on a warm setting (though cool is ideal), but I’m pretty careful not to leave it in the dryer too long to avoid wrinkles. He's been wearing it since his birthday in February, and so far, it's kept its shape, and seems to resist stains. If you have a little one that loves sharks, this check out this comfy ocean themed crew neck.

Nice quality for some basic, essential tees. The ratio cotton to spandex makes it very comfortable to wear. Great value.
