About This Item
Paris, : Parsons, Galignani et Compagnie, 1808. Second edition. Bound in quarter red morocco, marbled blue card boards and ornate gilt-stamped titles to spine. Complete with engraved frontis portrait. This is a French translation, by J. Martinet, of the memoirs of the notorious public life, and colourful private life, of the late Right Honourable Charles-James Fox. Spine shows very little sign of wear, and boards are just a little scuffed. Internally, the pages are toned, particularly to the front. Evidence of a small bookplate having been removed from front pastedown. Charles-James Fox (1749-1806), was a prominent British statesman whose opinions in favour of the American War of Independence became some of the most radical ever to be aired in the Parliament of his era. Fox's parliamentary career spanned 38 years of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and he was the arch-rival of William Pitt the Younger. xiv, 324 pp. Seconde édition. Reliure en quartier de maroquin rouge, plats cartonnés bleu marbré et titres ornés estampés dorés au dos. Complète avec un portrait en fronti gravé. Il s'agit d'une traduction française, par J. Martinet, des mémoires de la vie publique notoire et de la vie privée colorée de feu le très honorable Charles-James Fox. La colonne vertébrale montre très peu de signes d'usure et les planches sont juste un peu éraflées. A l'intérieur, les pages sont toniques, notamment vers le recto. Preuve d'un petit ex-libris ayant été retiré de l'encollage avant. Charles-James Fox (1749-1806), était un éminent homme d'État britannique dont les opinions en faveur de la guerre d'indépendance américaine sont devenues parmi les plus radicales jamais exprimées au Parlement de son époque. La carrière parlementaire de Fox a duré 38 ans à la fin du XVIIIe et au début du XIXe siècle, et il était le grand rival de William Pitt le Jeune. xiv, 324 pages.
