500 # # $a Philip Dixon Hardy was a printer and publisher in Dublin. It is probable, therefore, that this pamphlet was published in Dublin, but is not clear whether Hardy wrote this work. It could also have been written by the man who researched and built the model, Captain William Siborne. The model was completed by him in Ireland in 1838 and shipped to England for public display in the Egyptian Hall in London where 100,000 people visited - but the admissions did not cover Siborne's expenses of research and construction. The model was returned to Ireland in 1841 and put into storage. It is now in the National Army Museum, London.
