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.

shirt is thin, sizing is useless
The shirt is thin but okay. The sizing is useless. I purchased a large and a medium. Each is marked with the size (L and M), but the two shirts are exactly the same size. Laid flat together or held up by the shoulders together, these two shirts are EXACTLY the same.

Fun Christmas Sweatshirt
Color: 02 Green, Size: Large
I really like this sweatshirt. It was listed as men's so I ordered the large. The sleeves are pretty long, which I really like. Otherwise it fits slightly baggy, but I typically wear a women's large so I ordered the large hoping for a little bit oversized. The material is typical for what a normal sweatshirt is, but is a little more lightweight, which I like. It being a touch thinner allows for easier layering and not peeling it off halfway through the day. The graphic is nice, the colors are bold and crisp. I love Christmas and love having tons of different themed clothing to wear, so I'm super excited to add this to my stash.

Great
This Holiday sweatshirt is great, It's made great with soft materials. It fits perfectly not tight and not bulky. It's warm and can be worn over a t-shirt or a long sleeve shirt when it's cold outside. It doesn't twist or ride up. The design is well made and looks great. The colors are bright and look nice. It's great for the holidays but after they're over I'm going to keep wearing this because I like it. It's a great price because with proper care this sweatshirt will last for a long long time.
