The colorful duchess is said to have been the basis for William Thackeray's character of Beatrice in Esmond and of the Baroness Bernstein in The Virginians and was also ridiculed in a play that she tried to legally suppress The Capuchin. Prone to romantic entanglements and scandals she had many lovers and it is said that George II was one of many to be swayed by her charms. When she determined to marry the Duke of Kingston Elizabeth feared the scandal of divorce from her first husband Augustus Hervey later Earl of Bristol who wanted a divorce so she instituted a suit of jactitation against him. His negative response ignored she took an oath that she was unmarried and the court so declared her. She married the Duke of Kingston in 1769 and he died in 1770 and left her a substantial estate on the condition that she remain a widow. The duke's nephew Mr. Evelyn Meadow brought suit against her for bigamy shortly after the duke's death while she was traveling in Italy. She returned to England to stand trial. Found guilty she would have been "burned on the hand" but she claimed the privilege of her peerage which served to exempt her from corporal punishment. She continued a life of travel and adventure until her sudden death in Paris in 1788. Dictionary of National Biography IX:730. Sowerby Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson 1957.

1957149346New York: McGraw-Hill 1957. Special edition of this classic work basis for the 1957 Academy Award-winning film starring Joanne Woodward. Octavo original half cloth. Signed and inscribed by both authors on the front free endpaper "For John Persall With all good wishes and our cordial regard Corbett Thigpen Hervey Cleckley." Fine in a near fine dust jacket with the rare original wraparound band. Jacket design by Michael McIver. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box with a pictorial inlay. An exceptional presentation. In 1954 Drs. Thigpen adn Cleckley wrote a technical article "A Case of Multiple Personality" for the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology. This appeared before they had completed the work on the case. The Three Faces of Eve is an extension of that collaboration - a complete account of this extraordinary case which is likely to engage the lay reader's interest as vividly as that of physicians and professional workers in psychology and sociology. Eve White was a shy saintly housewife and mother. Eve Black was a coarse seductive beauty with a passion for drinking dancing and the company of strangers. Jane was the third Eve. She was a mature poised woman - but her tormented soul held the key to Eve's deepest mystery. They were all one woman - and they were all unlike the Eve that finally emerged. McGraw-Hill hardcover
