Agathon,

Thanks, Montglave's publication is in some sense a complement to Belmas' reference work (Journaux des sièges faits ou soutenus par les Français dans la péninsule de 1807 à 1814, 4 vol.) on the French sieges and defenses of fortresses in the Peninsula. While Belmas described some comparatively small sieges (e.g. Olivenca, Campo Mayor, ...), he surprisingly did not include in his giant work the siege of Cadiz, despite it was one of the most important sieges - from a political as well as a military point of view - of the Napoleonic wars, lasting over 30 months (February 1810 - August 1812).

Best regards, Thomas
