Scope and Contents

This appears to be a biography of a general of the Spanish Army, Henry Joseph O' Donnell y Anatar, Count of La Bisbal. It is a manuscript with an unnamed author that has factual inconsistencies. For example, the memooir claims that Count 'Abisbal' was born in Andalucia in 1770, although most records indicate that he was born in San Sebastián in 1769.
