First edition in English. This copy in an attractive Regency binding with an interesting English Catholic provenance: the Hornyold family of Worcestershire. The Blackmore Park estate had been in the hands of the Hornyold family since the sixteenth century, and in 1844 Thomas Charles Hornyold donated land for the building of a new Catholic church. The church, with an attached monastery for monks of the Redemptorist order, was paid for by John Vincent Gandolfi, a Genoese silk merchant who had married into the Hornyold family and would inherit the Blackmore Estate in 1859. 12mo (140 × 85 mm), pp. vii, [1], 435, [1]. Early nineteenth-century dark blue panelled straight grain morocco, gilt, elaborate panelled spine, gilt edges. Spine very slightly rubbed at joints towards head and foot, one plain endpaper removed at front. Inscription: 'Lucy Hornyold 1836' and later armorial bookplate of Charles Gandolfi, Blackmore Park.
