Beschreibung

The Herbert Maxwell edition of Thomas Creevey's famous historical documents in rather decorative recent fine bindings. Complete in Two Volumes. With several portrait plates. Thomas Creevey, 1768-1838, was an English politician. "Creevey's charm and good humour made him both popular and a delightful guest; his fame derives from the amusing letters preserved by the Ord family. His importance as a historical source is considerable. No one described more graphically the appearance, or recorded more faithfully the looks and the talk, of the royal personages and major politicians of the time" -DNB. Sir Herbert Maxwell, 1845-1937, was a politician and author. "His editing of the Creevey Papers (2 vols., 1903) provided a valuable supplement to the Greville Memoirs" -DNB. In half morocco bindings. Externally, fine. Internally, firmly bound, with slight browning, and the occasional spot to the first and last few pages and the plates. Near Fine. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers FIN2-F-5
