HAMILTON'S MEMOIRS OF COUNT GRAMMONT
Memoirs of Count Grammont. A new translation with notes and illustrations. Embellished with seventy-six portraits, of the principal characters mentioned in the work.
London: S. and E. Harding, [1794].
4to (11" tall). Full red straight grain morocco. Twin raised bands and very fine gilt tooling to the spine. Magnificent wide gilt rolls to the boards. Floral gilt dentelles and all edges gilt. 76 engraved plates, with original tissue guards. Upper corners slightly bumped. Small stain affecting the upper margin of the first hundred pages, not affecting the text or detracting from this truly stunning binding.
"The work is mainly occupied with the ?amorous intrigues? at the court of Charles II during 1662-4; it is written with such brilliancy and vivacity that it must always rank as a classic." (DNB).
