First edition of the account of the battles near Namur against the French by William III of Orange, who married Mary, Queen of England. William took Namur with an army of English, Dutch, and Germans after a siege of 57 days on August 26, 1695. Also included is the account of the victory over the French army on August 19, 1695, under the command of the Duke of Villeroy and Marshall Boufflers. According to Barbier, a note is present in the Meerman copy, which was sold in auction in  1824, reading: "Par M. Doph, quartier-maitre general, et apres general des dragons", so Tronchin de Breuil probably published  his work based on Doph's notes.
The plans and maps are titled: "Plan de la Ville & Chateau de Namur avec les Ataques", "Plan des Lignes et Campements des Armées des Alliez, commandées par le Roy de la Grande Bretagne devant la Ville et Chateau de Namur", "Plan du Camp que Prit l'Armée des Alliés, commandée par Son  Altesse Mr. le Prince de Vaudemont, le 30e du Mois de Iuin à Woutergem", and "Carte Particuliere des Mouvements faits et des Postes occupez par les Armes des Aliez, commandées par le Roy de la Grande Bretagne, et celles de France, commandées par le Marechal de Villeroy pendant le Siege de Namur". All maps are decorated with fine cartouches, and dated 1695. Their size is ca. 58 x 44 cm, excl. margins.
