The New Annual Army List, Militia List, Yeomanry Cavalry List, and Indian Civil Service List, for 1885, Lieutenant General H. G. Hart — Facsimile Reprint Edition

Publication: London, The Naval & Military Press, 1995

Formatting: 8vo, pp. 767.

Condition Report Near Fine. The maroon cloth boards are exceptionally bright and sharp, showing virtually no edge-wear or corner bumping, which indicates careful handling and storage. The binding remains firm, tight, and structurally sound. Internally, the pages are crisp, clean, and entirely free of foxing, with only a negligible, faint smudge to the bottom edge of the text block. The accompanying cream dust jacket is largely clean and intact with only minor shelf-wear and light surface rubbing typical of matte paper, presenting excellently overall.

Catalogue Note This is a high-quality facsimile reprint of the original edition published by John Murray. The title page faithfully maintains the original publication details, while the verso notes the printing by Antony Rowe Ltd in Great Britain.

This issue offers a substantial, cloth-bound alternative to increasingly fragile original Victorian copies. While modern, two-volume print-on-demand paperback versions are relatively common, this single-volume hardbound facsimile with its original dust jacket has become remarkably scarce.

A crucial primary resource for military historians and genealogists, Hart's Annual Army List for 1885 provides an exhaustively detailed record of the British and Indian Armies during the height of the Victorian era. It contains the dates of commissions and highly detailed summaries of the war services of nearly every officer in the Army, Ordnance, Marines, Indian Staff Corps, and Indian Local Forces, offering an unparalleled window into the military apparatus of the late nineteenth century.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
