‎Historical Record of the Fourteenth or the Buckinghamshire Regiment of Foot:‎

‎London: Parker Furnivall and Parker 1845. The Old and Bold turned out in parade dress A sparkling copy of the first and most desirable edition; subsequent printings were published with inferior unsigned wood-engraved variants of the original plates. The exact process by which copies of Cannon's histories came to be bound in this handsome style generally termed "presentation" - very occasionally signed by Smith of Long Acre - is not known. "Reputedly William IV proposed that a series of regimental histories should be compiled whereby the general public could be apprised of the distinguished services rendered by the regiments of the British army. the work of compilation was entrusted by royal warrant to Cannon principal clerk of the adjutant-general's office. He started immediately and the first volume to be published was a history of the Life Guards in 1837. Cannon's warrant expired on the death of William IV but was renewed on Victoria's accession to the throne. Unfortunately the official funding was not maintained and Cannon endeavoured to finance the project from his own pocket consequently running into serious pecuniary difficulties. Cannon's volumes were authoritative and readable well produced and often well illustrated. If somewhat lacking in the human interest expected of modern historians Cannon nevertheless set a standard for succeeding regimental historians to emulate" ODNB. The 14th Foot nicknamed The Old and Bold was raised in 1685 and saw action during the Jacobite risings of 1715 Sheriffmuir and 1745 Falkirk Culloden. During the Napoleonic Wars battalions served in Spain Corunna the ill-fated Walcheren expedition and further afield in Java and Borneo. The regiment raised a third battalion in 1813 and it was this unit of young and inexperienced men who fought at Waterloo as part of Colonel Hugh Mitchell's 4th Brigade Colville's division. In 1825 they were at the siege and capture of the great Jat fortress at Bharatpur. Provenance: Coningsby Disraeli 1867-1936 with his armorial bookplate.
