London: John Murray,, 1855.. 1855 Two volumes lxvi, 520; vii, [1], 593 p. Frontis. in each volume and two leaves of facsimile ms. in Vol. 1. Contemporary calf bindings with some scuffs to the boards. The spines are attractively gilt between raised bands, with two contrasting labels. A solid set which look good on the shelf. For historians of the eighteenth century the Memoirs are an indispensable work. 'I am determined to report everything just as it is', Hervey declared, 'or at least just as it appears to me' (Hervey, Some Materials, 2.347). Despite his resort to the third person in discussing himself as a player in the drama of court life, Hervey's Memoirs are in fact very personal, direct, and even earthy.

London: Bickers and Son , 1884. Cloth. Good. 11" by 8". None. Lord Hervey's frank memoir of George II. Hervey was a courtier and political writer. It was said he had affairs with many notable figures including Anne Vane, Lady Montagu, Princess Caroline, Francesco Algarotti and possibly Prince Frederick. The memoirs were published posthumously due to their unflattering view of the King, Prince Frederick, and their family arguments. The manuscript was preserved by Hervey's family and his son left clear instructions that the work was not to be published until George III's death. The work was first published in 1848 having been edited by J W Croker. These memoirs have been regarded as resembling those of Horace Walpole and the two books mutually support the veracity of several of the outlandish claims. An ex-library copy with several blind stamps for Bath public library throughout. This is a limited edition of this work, being number 47 of only 50 copies printed on large paper. Limited… Read More
