About This Item
London: W O Mitchell, 1867. xv and 198 pages. 4 coloured lithographs, 5 actual sepia photographs. Publisher's red cloth, spine professionally relaid on a new cloth back.
Carter was been Cannon's assistant at the Adjutant General's Office during the time that the latter's Historical Records series was published by authority. When Cannon retired, Carter was recommended to the Treasury but it was decided to discontinue the series. Nevertheless Carter managed to produce three more histories more on less on his own initiative. He had official blessing but was without official assistance and was thus dependent on subscriptions from individual regiments. Unlike Carter's histories of the 26th and 44th which were both entirely new ventures, this history of the 13th was to some extent a new edition of a history first published in 1848 by Cannon though the whole text was rewritten and a large new section on the Crimean War was added. The book was almost certainly published in very small numbers. It is improbable that more than one hundred of each photographic plate could be made from a single negative.
