1638175404Amsterdam i.e. Sully-sur-Loire: Alethinosgraphe de Clearetimelee; Paris: Chez Augustin Courbé 1638; 1662. An eyewitness account of the reign of Henri le Grand First editions including the scarce privately printed editions of the first two volumes. The memoirs of Henry IV's chief minister known to history as the Économies royales are among the most comprehensive and influential sources for his reign. This is the Chatsworth House copy in the handsome binding of the 6th Duke of Devonshire 1790-1858. From the mid-1590s to 1610 Maximilien de Béthune Duke de Sully 1560-1641 was among the most powerful figures at the French court. He served in many of the highest offices including superintendent of finances and grand master of artillery. He thus became a crucial figure in the reconstruction following the French Wars of Religion effectively controlling royal finances and sponsoring massive infrastructure projects. Schumpeter judged him a "much greater and especially stronger man" than Colbert p. 169. Sully resigned the year after Henry's assassination in 1610 retiring to write the Économies at Sully-sur-Loire. Drawing on his extensive archive of official papers the work spans four volumes. The first two covering events up to 1605 were privately printed at his château in 1638. In this Sully was partially motivated by the publication of a rival history of Henry IV which barely mentioned him. He died in 1641 and it was not until 1662 that the final two volumes culminating with the assassination were published with the royal privilege in Paris. Brunet notes that the first impressions of Sully's original 1638 volumes are distinguished by printing the "Paralelles de Cesar et de Henry Le Grand" in roman type not italic. This copy prints the "Paralelles" in roman type although as with many other copies they are not exactly where Brunet places them - here they are at pp. 605-618 not pp. 469-476. William Cavendish 6th Duke of Devonshire was a prolific contributor to the Chatsworth House Library making many significant purchases from the collections of Thomas Dampier and the Duke of Roxburghe whose 1812 auction catalogue lists copies of the 1662 volumes. Cavendish's gilt armorial crest is on the front and rear covers of each volume while his "WSD" monogram is on the spines and the Chatsworth bookplate is on the front pastedowns. These volumes are recorded in the Chatsworth catalogue of 1879. 4 vols bound in 3 folio 336 x 221 mm. Title pages with woodcut device vols I & II title pages printed in red and black and with engraved vignette vols III & IV woodcut initials head- and tailpieces. Mid-19th-century red morocco spines ruled lettered and decorated in gilt covers with central armorial crests embossed in gilt turn-ins gilt light yellow coated endpapers edges gilt. Infrequent contemporary ink annotations and sidelining. Light wear to extremities faint toning to spines minor browning and foxing to contents a handful of repaired tears: a very good set indeed.

1778WRCAM47211Londres but actually Paris 1778. Eight volumes with frontispiece portrait in first volume. 12mo. Contemporary calf spines gilt. Spines very chipped and worn hinges cracked. Boards crudely repaired at some corners and edges. Bookplate of James Monroe in front of each volume. Some foxing and dampstaining but generally clean internally. A good solid set with an impeccable provenance. In two black half morocco boxes. James Monroe's copy of Sully's MÉMOIRES which is in fact a very free adaptation by "M.L.D.L.D.L." i.e. Pierre Mathurin de L'Ecluse des Loges. Jefferson and Madison both considered this book required reading for American statesmen. It was included in the list of books that Madison prepared for Congress in 1783 and was "usually included in Jefferson's lists of recommended reading" Sowerby. Jefferson owned a copy of this same edition one of several 18th-century reprints of a work first published in 1638 recounting the nation-building of a great French statesman. Jefferson's copy acquired in 1788 was present when his library was acquired by the Library of Congress in 1815. <br> <br> James Monroe and Thomas Jefferson who was fifteen years Monroe's senior enjoyed a lifelong friendship from the time Monroe began his law studies with Jefferson in 1780. Both were Francophiles and in that regard Monroe may well have surpassed his mentor. A United States minister to France from 1794 to 1796 Monroe championed the French in defiance of his mandate to promote neutrality. No doubt he embraced French history and culture with a similar though less dangerous zeal. This set of books was quite likely one of many works that Monroe acquired during his years in France 1794-97 and 1803. In fact Monroe began acquiring French books as early as 1784 when Jefferson sold him twenty-five duplicate French titles; the list preserved in the Jefferson Papers does not however include a copy of Sully. According to the catalogue of Monroe's library reconstructed in 1967 by Gordon W. Jones French books comprised nearly one- third of Monroe's library which according to Monroe's own estimate approached nearly 3000 volumes. Based on Monroe's own manuscript catalogue the library sold at auction in 1849 and a small group of books retained by his descendants Jones was able to identify a total of some 450 titles many in multiple volumes - enough to suggest that Monroe's estimate was not exaggerated. <br> <br> Only a tiny portion of Monroe's extensive library has been preserved intact and copies from the library rarely turn up on the market. As of 1967 the Monroe Memorial Library in Fredericksburg housed some twenty- eight titles in fifty volumes. These are known to have belonged to Monroe because they descended through the family; most according to Jones do not have Monroe's bookplate. Only two other books belonging to Monroe are located by Jones both in the Alderman Library at the University of Virginia. Doubtless other works are scattered throughout various other public and private collections but the general lack of a bookplate makes these nearly impossible to identify. <br> <br> All of which makes this 18th-century edition of a classic French historical text complete with Monroe's bookplate in all eight volumes a welcome artifact that exemplifies Monroe's library and evokes Thomas Jefferson's early influence on James Monroe as a book collector and recalls the future president's experience as a young diplomat in the service of an infant republic. <br> <br> Several books from Monroe's library have appeared recently at auction. His copy of Necker's DE L'ADMINISTRATION DES FINANCES DE LA FRANCE 1784 complete in three volumes with his bookplate sold for $18750 at Christie Dec. 3 2007 while a single volume of a seven-volume set of Linnaeus also with his bookplate sold for $12500 at Christie's on June 12 2008. In the December 2007 sale Jefferson's set of this same edition of Sully sold for $43000. Gordon W.

175644515London: Printed for A. Millar in the Strand; R. and J. Dodsley in Pall-Mall; and W. Shropshire in New-Bond-Street 1756. Fine. First edition in English extra-illustrated copy of this "instant classic" Carlile the autobiography of the minister and advisor to King Henry IV of France. Charlotte Lennox was born into a well-to-do Scottish family that fell upon hard times. Well educated and distinguished early for her poetic precocity - but left to fend for herself financially she turned to a career in writing. After publishing two novels THE LIFE OF HARRIOT STUART based heavily on her own experiences in the American colonies and voyage back to Britain; and THE FEMALE QUIXOTE for which she is best known today Lennox took up translation work in hopes of finding a more stable source of income. Among Lennox's most successful productions in her long publishing career this translation of the Duke of Sully's MEMOIRS also led to an offer of a royal pension for Lennox in gratitude for literary services performed. She turned it down in favor of her patron finding a government position for her husband instead. <br /> <br /> The Duke of Sully 1560-1641 was viewed by many in the Georgian period as an ideal Enlightenment-era statesman and his MEMOIRS has been read as a literary political treatise. It influence was broad including on the American Founding Fathers: it features in the 1783 list of books to be imported for the use of Congress compiled under the leadership of James Madison. <br /> <br /> This copy has been generously supplemented with nearly 200 engravings primarily of portraits and landscapes of the figures and places described. As a 17th-century text via an influential 18th-century translation in a characteristically deluxe 19th-century extra-illustrated binding it is a lovely hybrid artifact. Three quarto volumes 10'' x 7.75'' each. Nineteenth-century full maroon straight-grain morocco by Bayntun raised bands elaborately gilt-stamped spines large gilt cornerpieces and triple-gilt rules to boards. Gilt dentelles marbled endpapers all edges gilt. Extra illustrated with 193 additional plates: portraits landscapes dramatic scenes inter alia.

185610829London: Henry G. Bohn 1856. Hard Cover. Good binding. 12mo. 8 ads xii 509 1 xii 454; x 432; x 503 1 pp. frontises New edition. As issued in publisher's embossed cloth with title on the spine. Each volume has 14 pages of adverts that function as endpapers p. 2-8 at the front p. 2 being the front pastedown and p. 9-15 p. 15 being the rear pastedown. A fairly presentable set with wear to the extremities including some fraying with closed tears to the spine ends of a couple volumes; hinges are loose but holding; contents are largely clean. <br /> <br /> This set belonged to Confederate Colonel John Mosby and to Confederate General Eppa Hunton in turn and bears both names on the first blank page of each volume-the former name being crossed through in ink. In another book from this collection is a pencil note beneath Mosby's name and above Hunton's: "Bought at sale of Col. / Mosby - Warrenton VA." The pencil note is later and thought to be by Eppa Hunton IV General Hunton's grandson and from whose library this set was purchased. This inscription is not present in this title but one might suppose that Hunton bought multiple books at the sale and surely Sully's Memoirs was one of them.<br /> <br /> As a colonel Eppa Hunton took command of the 8th Virginia Infantry in 1861 and that July under Gen P. T. Beauregard Hunton's brigade helped to halt a Union advance on Richmond. He distinguished himself at Ball's Bluff and then commanded Pickett's brigade after Pickett's wounding at Gaines' Mill. Hunton led Pickett's men through the balance of the Peninsula Campaign acquitting himself with distinction. Hunton's brigade was with Pickett at Gettysburg after which he was promoted to brigadier general for his valor. During the last stages of the war Hunton was involved in battle around Richmond including Cold Harbor and Five Forks. He was captured at Sayler's Creek on August 6 1865 and was imprisoned for three months at Fort Warren in Boston Harbor. But Hunton was more than a Confederate General; after the Civil War Hunton would rise politically in Reconstruction era Virginia and serve in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. <br /> <br /> Both Mosby and Hunton were from Warrenton VA where they practiced law and both ultimately served in the United States Government Mosby in the Department of Justice and Hunton in Congress. Interestingly Hunton bought Mosby's home Brentmoor from him in 1877 who had himself purchased it from Virginia Supreme Court justice James Keith. While Hunton and Mosby traveled in a very tight political and social orbit there was certainly an adversarial level as after the war most Virginia politicians were staunch Democrats Mosby became a Republican and was even Grant's campaign manager in Virginia. These volumes point to a side of the owners rounding out what is often a history that is one-sided and neglects to consider their lives after the Civil War. Oxford American National Biography.

Stunning binding.Sully left a collection of memoirs Mémoires otherwise known as the Économies royales 1638 written in the second person very valuable for the history of the time and as an autobiography in spite of the fact that they contain many fictions such as a mission undertaken by Sully to Queen Elizabeth I of England in 1601.<strong>Maximilien de Béthune 1st Duke of Sully Marquis of Rosny and Nogent Count of Muret and Villebon Viscount of Meaux</strong> 13 December 1560 – 22 December 1641 was a nobleman soldier statesman and counselor of King Henry IV of France. Historians emphasize Sully's role in building a strong centralized administrative system in France using coercion and highly effective new administrative techniques. While not all of his policies were original he used them well to revitalize France after the European Religious Wars. Most however were repealed by later monarchs who preferred absolute power. Historians have also studied his Neostoicism and his ideas about virtue prudence and discipline. J Rivington unknown
