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was preserved by the family but his son Augustus John 3rd Earl of Bristol left strict injunctions that they should not be published until after the death of George III.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.<br /> <br /> CONDITION REPORT<br /> <br /> The volumes are in VG antiquarian condition for 175-year-old books. <br /> <br /> Exterior and binding: Firm hinges and joints tight text block.

1884SET61-B-2London: Bickers and Son 1884. Cloth. Good. 11" by 8". None. Lord Hervey's frank memoir of George II. Hervey was a courtier and political writer. It was said he had affairs with many notable figures including Anne Vane Lady Montagu Princess Caroline Francesco Algarotti and possibly Prince Frederick. The memoirs were published posthumously due to their unflattering view of the King Prince Frederick and their family arguments. The manuscript was preserved by Hervey's family and his son left clear instructions that the work was not to be published until George III's death. The work was first published in 1848 having been edited by J W Croker. These memoirs have been regarded as resembling those of Horace Walpole and the two books mutually support the veracity of several of the outlandish claims.
