Illustrated with numerous plates and a large folding chart at rear of volume II. Bound in blind-panelled navy open weave buckram titled in gilt at the spine. The definitive history of Real Tennis 'La Paume' in two volumes. Both volumes are in fine condition in the VERY RARE ORIGINAL DUST WRAPPERS. Copies in D/W are almost un-heardof and I can find no other examples on sale at this time. The D/W on Volume I is in VG condition with a couple of closed tears and some inevitable browning to the spine. It is though complete. The D/W on Volume II is in good only condition as it is missing a large piece approximately half of the back panel. The back panel has no text on it so archival restoration would not be un-duly difficult. Supposedly limited to 820 copies the actual limitation is probably much smaller as it is rumoured that 100 were pulped in 1929 and perhaps as many as 380 copies were pulped in 1932.

Original Hardcover with the very rare original dustjacket in protective collector's mylar. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear and foxing to the edges and several pages. This book is very rare in its original dustjacket. Inscribed and signed by Charles Noel Carnegie 10th Earl of Southesk 1854-1941: "To Lady Adam Smith from the Earl of Southesk - Jan 1934". With a newspaper-clipping on an event of Inverness Central School loosely inserted and with a newspaper-clipping shopwing the elderly "Earl of Southesk and Mr. Donald Steuart-Fothringham going out to shoot over Petterden Moor Angus". A wonderful association copy ! Charles Noel Carnegie 10th Earl of Southesk JP DL 20 March 1854 10 November 1941 was a Scottish nobleman. Carnegie was the son of the explorer and poet James Carnegie 9th Earl of Southesk and his first wife Catherine Hamilton Noel daughter of the Charles Noel 1st Earl of Gainsborough. He had three older sisters Lady Arabella Charlotte wife of Samuel Romilly Lady Constance Mary wife of Victor Bruce 9th Earl of Elgin and Lady Beatrice Diana Cecilia Diana Cecillia wife of the Rev. Henry Holmes Stewart. After his mother's death in 1855 at the age of twenty-six his father remarried to Lady Susan Catherine Mary Murray eldest daughter of the 6th Earl of Dunmore in 1860. From his father's second marriage he had seven younger half-siblings including: Sir Lancelot Douglas Carnegie Lady Dora Susan wife of Maj. Ernest de Rodakowski-Rivers Lady Elizabeth Erica Lady Helena Mariota Lady Katherine Agnes Blanche wife of Courtenay Morgan 1st Viscount Tredegar Hon. Robert Francis who married Violet Fraser and Hon. David Wynford Carnegie. His paternal grandparents were Sir James Carnegie 5th Baronet de jure 8th Earl of Southesk and the former Charlotte Lysons a daughter of the Reverend Daniel Lysons. He was educated at Harrow and St Andrews University and would later receive an honorary degree from the university in October 1902. Amongst his various offices he was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the part-time Forfar and Kincardine Artillery Militia in 1872 and steadily progressed through the officer ranks until he became the Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant in 1894 with the honorary rank of Colonel. He retired from the command in 1906. He also served as a Deputy Lieutenant for Angus Aberdeenshire and Kincardineshire from 5 January 1900. He held the office of Justice of the Peace for Aberdeenshire and for Angus. In 1905 he succeeded his father as the 10th Earl of Southesk who had restored the family titles with the original precedence by reversal of the 1715 Act of Attainder in 1855. He had the reputation of being the best game shot in Scotland. In 1921 Kinnaird Castle which was situated in one of the grandest Scottish glens and was the seat of the Earls of Southesk for more than 600 years burnt to the ground. "Only a small part of the servant's wing has escaped. A considerable part of the library was saved but many books impossible to replace as well as Raeburn's portrait of Lady Carnegie valued at £10000 were lost." Lord Southesk rebuilt the castle. A prominent art collector he owned "a large collection of paintings by old masters and antique gems." Source: Wikipedia hardcover
