When Pompey was defeated at the Battle of Pharsalus he sought refuge in Egypt where he was assassinated. His career and defeat are significant in Rome's subsequent transformation from Republic to Principate and Empire. 1689-London-J. Dunton: The Bloody Assizes: Or a Compleat History of the Life of George Lord Jefferies from His Birth to this present Time. Wherein among other things is given a true account of his unhead of cruelties and barbarous proceedings in his whole Western-circuit.None of which were ever publish'd. The Bloody Assizes were a series of trials started at Winchester on 25 August 1685 in the aftermath of the Battle of Sedgemoor which ended the Monmouth Rebellion in England. They were led by Lord Chief Justice George Jeffreys. George Jeffreys 1st Baron Jeffreys of Wem PC 15 May 1645 18 April 1689 was also known as "The Hanging Judge". His historical notoriety comes from his actions in 1685 after Monmouth's Rebellion. Jeffreys was sent to the West Country in the autumn of 1685 to conduct the trials of captured rebels. At these trials later known as the "Bloody Assizes" Jeffreys issued harsh sentences to nearly all defendants. About 300 were executed and between 800 and 900 were transported to the West Indies. On 18/19 September alone he issued 144 death sentences. 1699-London-J. Nutt: Remarks on the Life of Mr. Milton as publish'd by J.

In 1601 he led an abortive coup d'etat against the government and was executed for treason. George Villiers 1st Duke of Buckingham KG 28 August 1592 23 August 1628 was the favourite claimed by some to be the lover of King James I of England.

They provide insights into Roman and Greek life but often are also timeless observations in their own right." Wikipedia. <br><br>This particular edition contains 77 essays including the psuedo-Plutarchian work "On the Names of Rivers and Mountains" not typically found in the Moralia and lacks "Summary of the Birth of the Spirit" as well as "Sayings of the Spartan Women." Prefaces and dedicatories are authored as follows: Matthew Morgan for Volume 1; George Tullie for Volume 2; Robert Midgley for Volume 4; Samuel White for Volume 5. <br><br>The English translation "Plutarch's Morals" 1684-1690 was a collaborative effort undertaken by a host of scholars. Their goal was to outdo the work of Philemon Holland who first translated the Moralia into English in 1603. As Matthew Morgan's preface to the first volume makes clear the entire Moralia was intended to be translated/published by the end of a single year 1684-5. It was also meant to only be 4 volumes altogether. But the collaborative translation ended up taking over 6 years and was 5 volumes when completed. The first 3 volumes were published by John Gellibrand 1684-1685 and the last 2 by R. Bentley 1690. The order of each treatise although not in the order classically placed in Plutarch's Moralia is according to the completion of each translation as they came to the publishers' hands. <br><br>William W. Goodwin upon revising the 5th Edition of this translation in 1870 had this to say in his preface "The original editions.contained translations of every grade of merit. Some of the essays were translated by eminent scholars like William Baxter nephew of Richard Baxter and Thomas Creech.But a large number including some of the longest and most difficult treatises were translated by men whose ignorance of Greek - or whatever language was the immediate ancestor of their own version - was only one of their many defects as translators. Notwithstanding all the defects of the translation.it is beyond all question a more readable version than could be made now; and the liveliness of its style will more than make up to most readers for its want of literal correctness." <br><br>A most rare and attractive set one of great historical value. <br><br>PLEASE NOTE: This set will arrive with "signature required" upon delivery.

Very Large Engraved Bookplate Of Thomas Anson Showing His Arms "Nil Desperandem" And Two Putti. Per Wikipedia Thomas Anson Frs C. 1695 - 1773 Was A British Member Of Parliament Traveler And Amateur Architect From The Anson Family. Anson Was The Son Of William Anson 1656-1720 And Isabella Carrier Sister-In-Law To Thomas Parker 1St Earl Of Macclesfield. The Family Estate Was Shugborough Hall In Staffordshire. Admiral George Anson 1St Baron Anson Was His Younger Brother And Along With Their Cousin George Parker 2Nd Earl Of Macclesfield They Were Taught Mathematics And Navigation By Isaac Newton's Friend The Mathematician William Jones Who Was Later To Propose Anson's Membership For The Royal Society In 1730. Anson Went Up To St John's College Oxford And Later Studied Law At The Inner Temple. Upon His Father's Death Anson Abandoned Law And Began The First Of Many Travels To The Continent As Was Then The Fashion For Young Men Of Fortune And Taste. In 1732 Anson And His Friend The Earl Of Sandwich Formed A Riotous Dining-Club Called The Society Of The Dilettanti Which Also Had The More Serious Purpose Of Encouraging Study Of Greek Architecture. In 1740 Thomas Briefly Joined His Brother George On The Centurion As He And His Crew Began Their Circumnavigation Of The Globe. Anson Left Them In Order To Travel To Egypt. This Qualified Him For The Egyptian Society And The Divan Society The Latter Being A Wild Drinking-Club Of Which Lord Dashwood And Lady Mary Wortley Montagu Were Avid Members. He Was Elected To The House Of Commons For Lichfield In 1747 A Seat He Held Until 1770. In 1748 Anson Was Sent To Versailles By Lord Sandwich With Secret Correspondence For The Duc De Choiseul And Madame De Pompadour. In Paris He Bought Crayons For His Friend The Duchess Of Bedford And His Sister-In-Law Lady Anson Sent Him A Long List Of Presents She Desired. In 1762 He Succeeded To The Vast Fortune Of Spanish Treasure Amassed By His Admiral Brother. This Enabled Him To Further Indulge His Passion For Architecture At Shugborough. Anson And Another Member Of The Society Of The Diletantti Rebuilt The House In The Greek Revival Style That The Pair Were Championing In England. Anson Filled Shugborough With Paintings Books And Objets D'art And Had Vasalli Paint Allegories Upon The Ceilings. The Park Was Strewn With Temples And Follies Including The Mysterious Shepherd's Monument The Pagoda Pigeon House And The Tower Of The Winds. The Park Has Been Described By Some As A Metaphor For Lord Anson's Circumnavigation Of The Globe. Others Contend That It Engages Aspects Of Many Cultures Both As A Tribute To Admiral Anson's Voyage And As A Representation Of Thomas Anson's Interest In Syncretic Philosophies. Anson Died Unmarried In March 1773. The Anson Estates Were Passed On To His Nephew George Adams Who Assumed The Surname Of Anson And Was Ancestor Of The Earls Of Lichfield. <br/> <br/> hardcover
