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. Half titles in first two volumes. 4 540; 4 viii 555 1; viii 408 pages plus index. Only light rubbing to joints. Printed for A. Millar, in the Strand; R. and J. Dodsley, in Pall-Mall; and W.

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
