Aggiungi al carrelloEarly American edition. i-xii, 13-481, [10] pages. H 20cm x L 13cm. Original cloth but heavily sun faded so as to now have a rather bleached appearance; spine lettering heavily dulled as is gilt stamped crown decorating the front board, boards rubbed with some soiling, slender dark staining along front and rear joints, mild fray…ing at spine ends, board corners bumped and nicked with top corner of rear board worn. Ownership signatures in pencil on front endpapers; slight binding spilt evident between frontispiece and title page but binding remains fairly firm; mostly mild but occasionally moderate foxing upon interior leaves; a few page corners creased from past fold-downs. Includes fifteen illustrated plates amongst text (plus frontis) all drawn by H.K. Browne and James Godwin and engraved by Hugh Dalziel and George Dalziel. List of Illustrations on page xi cites an illustration at page 346 which actually is at page 340 - otherwise collates as complete. Includes ten page publisher's catalogue at rear. The authors review a number of British aristocrats and society figures including within eighteen chapters titled as follows: "George Villiers - Second Duke of Buckingham;" "Count de Grammont, St. Evremond, and Lord Rochester;" "Beau Fielding;" "Of Certain Clubs and Club-Wits Under Anne;" "William Congreve;" "Beau Nash;" "Philip, Duke of Wharton;" "Lord Hervey;" "Philip Dormer Stanhope, Fourth Earl of Chesterfield;" "The Abbe Scarron;" "Francois, Duc de la Rouchefoucault and the Duc de Saint-Simon;" "Horace Walpole;" "George Selwyn;" "Richard Brinsley Sheridan;" "Beau Brummel;" "Theodore Edward Hook;" "Sydney Smith;" and "George Bubb Dodington, Lord Melcombe."
