Beschreibung

A beautifully bound memoir of British diplomat and colonial governor, Hugh Elliot. First thus, the first edition of this work, of which much of the information was privately printed several years before. With the errata leaf to the rear. In a Riviere & Son binding, with the binder's stamp to the verso of front endpaper. This work delves into the life and career of Hugh Elliot. This work contains private letters and notes of Elliot which have been expanded upon to give a wider picture of his diplomatic missions and public affairs. With a facsimile letter from the Queen of Naples to Elliot to page 341. Collated, complete. High Elliot had an illustrious political career holding roles such as the British ambassador to Frederick the Great in Prussia, held office in Copenhagan and was the British ambassador to the Electorate of Saxony in Dresden. These are just a few of the many roles held by Elliot. With the bookplate of William Wickham to the front pastedown. Possibly the William Wickham who was MP for Petersfield and High Sheriff of Hampshire. In a half straight-grained morocco binding. Externally, very smart with light rubbing to the joints and to the extremities. Some light shelfwear to the raised bands. Bookplate to the front pastedown, William Wickham. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright. Occasional scattered spots, heavier to the folding facsimile letter. Very Good Indeed. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 625L15
