JOMINI, General Baron Antoine Henri de (1779-1869).ABAA

Traite des Grandes Operations Militaires et Historique Critique des Campagnes de la Revolution.

1811Best.-Nr. S14191Paris: ca.1811. 1811. ATLAS : Oblong folio. Contains 41 engraved plates many folding 13 of which are heightened with hand coloring two with added flaps. Original quarter calf marbled boards dual red gilt-stamped spine labels ; speckled all edges well worn front joint reinforced with kozo rear joint cracked a few white paint speckles dotting the cover. Bookplate of Francisci Carafeae Ducis de Forli et Comitis Policastri Ex libris of Francesco Carafa 1781-1846. The maps are perfectly preserved. Lacks the text volumes. Generally a very good copy. This is the inspiration of Antoine-Henri Jomini in compiling his notable 'Treatise on Major Military Operations and Critical History of the Campaigns of the Revolution.' From my perspective it seems the publication of this work is complicated. Jomini seems to have issued his maps and texts in parts and the remaining extant copies each have different aspects different numbers of plates one stating 42 plates others with variable numbers of maps say up to 29 – clearly incomplete and the history of the texts and how they relate to the issued maps when is all vague. There were at least two editions issued. With the present Atlas there is no date on the title-page however one map shows an 1808 imprint. As the second edition was issued in 1811 this 41-map Atlas could be from that printing or perhaps the earlier. Another issue is dated 1816 also called a 'second' edition thus perhaps issued from 1811-1816 and the volumes of text are as many as 8 or they could be bound in other formats – each should be considered via the publisher's name and the pagination – neither of which are answerable with this assemblage of numbered plates. / Antoine-Henri Jomini was a Swiss military officer who served as a general in French and later in Russian service and one of the most celebrated writers on the Napoleonic art of war. Jomini was largely self-taught in military strategy and his ideas are a staple at military academies the United States Military Academy at West Point being a prominent example; his theories were thought to have affected many officers who later served in the American Civil War. He may have coined the term logistics in his Summary of the Art of War 1838. / In 1798 at time of the establishment of the Helvetic Republic Jomini was an eager revolutionary and an associate of Frederic-Cesar de La Harpe. He soon found a position in the new Swiss government as a secretary for the Minister of War with the rank of captain. In 1799 after being promoted to the rank of major Jomini took responsibility for reorganizing the operations of the ministry. In that capacity he standardized many procedures and used his position "to experiment with organizational systems and strategies". / After the Peace of Luneville in 1801 Jomini returned to Paris where he worked for a military equipment manufacturer. He found the job uninteresting and spent most of his time preparing his first book on military theory: Traite des grandes operations militaires Treatise on Major Military Operations. Michel Ney one of Napoleon's top generals read the book in 1803 and subsidized its publication. The book appeared in several volumes from 1804 to 1810 and was "quickly translated and widely discussed" throughout Europe. / Jomini served in the 1805 campaign by serving on Ney's staff. Jomini fought with Ney at the Battle of Ulm and in December of that year he was offered a commission as a colonel in the French Army. / In 1806 Jomini published his views as to the conduct of the impending war with Prussia. That along with his knowledge of Frederick the Great's campaigns which Jomini had described in the Traite led Napoleon to attach him to his own headquarters. Jomini was present with Napoleon at the Battle of Jena and at the Battle of Eylau where he won the cross of the Legion of Honour. / After the Peace of Tilsit Jomini was made chief of the staff to Ney and as well as a baron. In the Spanish campaign of 1808 his advice was often of the highest value to the marshal but Jomini quarrelled with his chief and he was left almost at the mercy of his numerous enemies especially Louis Alexandre Berthier the emperor's chief of staff.
