C…o-authored by William Combe.George Hanger, fourth Baron Coleraine (17511824), army officer and writer. ODNB '. Long-nosed but reportedly considered handsome when young, he was irascible, violent, dissipated, extravagant, and individualistic sometimes to eccentricity. He fought three duels before he was twenty-one. While a guards officer he married, by Gypsy rites, a Gypsy whom he called 'the lovely Egyptea of Norwood' (Bass, 86), but she ran off with a bandy-legged tinker. He 'retired' on 25 March 1776, allegedly in disgust after a more junior officer purchased promotion over him .' He served in the American Revolutionary War, as aide-de-camp to Sir Henry Clinton during the siege of Charleston, South Carolina in 1776. With great prescience he predicted that there would be civil war in the Americas. A great friend of the Prince of Wales, the prince apparently admiring Hanger's sense of humour and his exploits, both military and with women, appointing him Equerry in 1791. US$446.

Aggiungi al carrelloFull Decorated Morocco. Condizione: Near FIne. Extra-illustrated three volumes, with 96 additional plates, 45 of the plates being hand-colored, and beautifully bound by R. Wallis in full straight-grained red morocco. 8vo. The two works are not exactly the same size, although they match very well and work well as a set. A number…of folding plates as well, and of these, two frontises folding and hand-colored. The two volume Life is 21.5 by 13.5 cm, the To All Sportsmen: 22.5 by 14.5 cm. Life: 330, 474 pp. Sportsmen: 226, 8 pp. Extra plates include many portraits and also architectural views of people and/or places with some nexus to the texts, and as typical of Graingerized books, that nexus at times might seem tenuous. Still, the plates, especially the color plates, are a pleasing addition to the books. Hanger (1751-1824), also known as the fourth Baron Coleraine, is one of the great picaressque figures of the Regency period. He commanded troops for the British during the American Revolution, during which he was injured, and because of his recklessness or incompetence, his troops were ambushed and bested in battle. Upon return to Britain he became a close friend of the Prince Regent and was appointed his equerry. While flirting with politics Hanger racked up debts that ultimately led to his going to debtor's prison. Throughout his "career" he was a notorious womanizer as well as a holder of many unconventional views on just about everything. But he was widely regarded as an authority on sports, and thus "To All Sportsmen," his final publication. In The Life, it is fair to say that Hanger was more concerned about entertaining his readers than literal veracity of the events related. Binding with five raised bands, gilt decoration including hunting devices on spine (a fox, a greyhound, a horse head, a horseshoe) and a shooter with pointer device as centerpieces on all the boards, with the spine devices repeated in each of the corners. Gilt ruled perimeters on the boards, palmette-based turn ins, marbled endpapers. Gilt edges to Life, with Sportsmen, because of uneven page edges, no edge decoration to text block. Condition: all volumes with light rubbing in typical places -- joint extremities, spine extremities, corners. Typical offsetting of plates. Some light scattered soiling, but overall volumes read as clean and bright.
