1841125526London: John W. Parker 1841. First edition. "Reputedly William IV proposed that a series of regimental histories should be compiled whereby the general public could be apprised of the distinguished services rendered by the regiments of the British army. the work of compilation was entrusted by royal warrant to Cannon. He started immediately and the first volume to be published was a history of the Life Guards in 1837. Cannon's warrant expired on the death of William IV but was renewed on Victoria's accession to the throne. Unfortunately the official funding was not maintained and Cannon endeavoured to finance the project from his own pocket consequently running into serious pecuniary difficulties. Cannon's volumes were authoritative and readable well produced and often well illustrated. If somewhat lacking in the human interest expected of modern historians Cannon nevertheless set a standard for succeeding regimental historians to emulate" ODNB. Subsequent printings were published with 'much inferior' unsigned wood-engraved variants of the original plates. The exact process by which copies of Cannon's histories came to be bound in this style generally termed "presentation" - very occasionally signed by Smith of Long Acre - is not known. This copy with a Fifteenth Hussars gift inscription "J.E.L. XV KH from K.H.L." and loosely inserted autograph note signed from Aimée Lowther dated 24 July 1896 inviting Lord Greenock to dine; the actress Aimée Lowther was the sister of tennis champion Toupie Lowther and the daughter of Francis Lowther at one time flag-lieutenant to vice-admiral Sir Baldwin Walker; she was a friend of Ellen Terry and Oscar Wilde see Val Brown Toupie Lowther: Her Life 2017.
