pp. xx, 409 + Engraved portrait and facsimiles. 8vo. 22 cm. Crisp original blue cloth binding, decorated in black and gold. Sidney Smith (1771-1845) was one of the foremost English preachers of his da y; a champion of parliamentary reform; staunch advocate of Roman Catholic emancipation; and a figure famous for his intelligence, wit, and charm. After leaving Oxford he was ordained in the Church of England. He later attended lectures in moral philosophy, chemistry, and medicine at the University of Edinburgh, where he made many friends and helped to found 'The Edinburgh Review' (1802). For over twenty-five years he was a leading contributor to that important journal. In 1803 he moved to London and began a series of enormously popular lectures in moral philosophy. When the predominantly Whig ministry took office in 1806, Smith received the living of Foston-le-Clay, Yorkshire. At first he discharged his duties through a curate, until the Clergy Residence Act put an end to this common pract ice, and he left London for Yorkshire in 1809. Although he hated being isolated in Yorkshire, he won his parishioners' affection; and he continued to write effective polemics (especially on the Roman Catholic question). In 1828 he was installed as prebend of Bristol Cathedral. Under a Whig government it was expected that he would soon be a bishop; but opposition proved strong. Eventually, he succe eded in becoming a canon of St. Paul's Cathedral in London. On his brother Courtenay's death in 1839, Smith inherited a fortune, bought a house in London, and lived there until his own death. Scarce f irst American edition the 'standard' life of Smith.

Edited by William B. Slater and Arthur J. Sarl, with map and illustrations, 8vo full original red cloth, John Murray, Albemarle Street, London, 1907, xvii-380 pp. with a folding map Good condition (very small lack on top joints, otherwise a very good copy) for this copy, complete with the 12 illustrations and the folding map, in which was joined an original photographic portrait of George Manington, signed on a paper pasted on the verso, by himself ! This portrait, preserved under silk paper, appears highly scarce, and no other portrait of George Manington appears to be available or published. As explained in the editors' note, "though well under forty years of age, he had been a student in France and Germany, a prospective doctor in Paris, a soldier in Algeria and Tonquin, a man of commerce in Indo-China, an interpreter, traveller, and journalist in South China, besides a participator in more fleeting occupations in many lands, including Japan and the Philippines. [... ] An educated gentleman, Mr Manington has given an insight into the unusual experiences of an Englishman in the French Foreign[Pg xiii] Legion, such as no ordinary "mercenary" could have done".
