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 The manuscript was preserved by Hervey's family and his son left clear instructions that the work was not to be published until George III's death.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.

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was preserved by the family but his son Augustus John 3rd Earl of Bristol left strict injunctions that they should not be published until after the death of George III.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.

174289655London: J. Roberts 1742. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Fair. 80 pages. Some page foxing noted. Some moisture staining around edges at early pages. John Hervey 2nd Baron Hervey PC 13 October 1696 – 5 August 1743 was an English courtier and political writer. Heir to the Earl of Bristol he obtained the key patronage of Walpole and was involved in many court intrigues and literary quarrels being apparently caricatured by Pope and Fielding. His memoirs of the early reign of George II were too revealing to be published in his time and did not appear for more than a century. In 1725 he was elected M.P. for Bury St Edmunds. Hervey had been hesitating between William Pulteney afterwards earl of Bath and Robert Walpole but in 1730 he definitely took sides with Walpole of whom he was thenceforward a faithful adherent. He was able to render valuable service to Walpole from his influence with the Queen. Through him the minister governed Queen Caroline and indirectly George II. Hervey was vice-chamberlain in the royal household and a member of the Privy Council. In 1733 he was called to the House of Lords by writ of acceleration in his father's Barony. After the fall of Sir Robert Walpole he was dismissed July 1742 from his office. An excellent political pamphlet Miscellaneous Thoughts on the present Posture of Foreign and Domestic Affairs shows that he still retained his mental vigor. He predeceased his father but three of his sons became successively Earls of Bristol. Miscellaneous thoughts on the present posture both of our foreign and domestic affairs: humbly offer'd to the consideration of the Parliament and the people. Author: John Hervey.
