ABOUT THE AUTHOR & WORK Hervey wrote detailed and brutally frank memoirs of the court of George II of Great Britain from 1727 to 1737. He gave a most unflattering account of the King and of Frederick Prince of Wales and their family squabbles. For the Queen Caroline of Ansbach and her daughter Princess Caroline of Great Britain he had genuine respect and attachment. The Princess's affection for him was commonly said to be the reason for the close retirement in which she lived after his death. The manuscript of Hervey's memoirs was preserved by the family but his son Augustus John 3rd Earl of Bristol left strict injunctions that they should not be published until after the death of George III. In 1848 they were published under the editorship of J. W. Croker over 100 years after first composed but the manuscript had been subjected to a certain amount of mutilation before it came into his hands. Croker also softened in some cases the plainspokenness of the original. CONDITION REPORT The volumes are in VG antiquarian condition for 175-year-old books. Exterior and binding: Firm hinges and joints tight text block. Colorful supple morocco. Spines sunned from dark brown to a lovely chocolate brown. Light rubbing to boards and edges. A few small spots of soiling to boards and edges. Some scuffing to paper. Present beautifully on the shelf. Interior: The pages are generally bright and white.

George II 1683 - 1760 was King of Great Britain and Ireland Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg Hanover and a prince-elector of the Holy Roman Empire from June 1727 until his death in 1760. All in all a handsome two-volume set biography on King George II in collectible condition. John Murray unknown
