He was the son of George 1st Marquess Townshend and Lady Charlotte Compton and father of Rear-Admiral Townshend who succeeded to the family title as 4th Marquess.CBEL II p.583; Jackson p.184; Teerink 90.

This edition is based on Lenglet Dufresnoys 1735 edition. The "Roman de la Rose" was one of the most important Medieval French poems. The work is divided into two sections. The first written by Guillaume de Lorris in the early to mid 13th century is an allegorical dream addressing the Art of Love. The second written in the late 13th or early 14th century by Jean de Meung continues the poem in a different vein turning the work into a satire and a commentary on contemporary society. The poem contains long digressions in which an encyclopedic mass of information on various topics is set forth including "satires on women attacks on the magistrates the hereditary nobility and the mendicant friars disquisitions on the origin of society and of royal power on property pauperism and marriage on the relations of nature and art on hallucinations and sorcery and on the physical sciences." Oxford Comp. to French Lit p. 630. Over time great interest has been attached to the allegorical meaning of the poem which is open to diverse interpretations. The work contains much alchemical symbolism. Also included are "Le Codicille de Maistre Jean de Meung" and " Le Testament de Maistre Jean de Meung" as well as several related alchemy tracts "Le Remontrances de nature a lalchymiste errant par Jean de Meung"; "Le Response de lalchymiste a nature"; "Testament attribute a Arnauld de Villeneufve"; "Petit traicte dalchymie intitule le sommaire philosophique de Nicolas Flamel"; "La Fontaine des Amoureux de science"; "Balade du secret des philosophes". Vol. V includes Lantin de Damereys "Supplement au glossaire" first printed in 1737. This is a heavy set. Please inquire about postage. Brunet 1175; Graesse IV pp. 262-3 both listing a 1798 printing. <br/> <br/> J.B. Fournier, P.N.F. Didot hardcover
