In 8°; VI, 352, (8) pp. Brossura editoriale con titolo impresso in nero al piatto anteriore entro cornice (piccolissima mancanza all'angolo superiore del piatto anteriore). Buon esemplare. Prima edizione di questo celebre scritto di Charles De Rémusat. Dopo studi di diritto nel 1820 pubblicò un celebre opuscolo sul processo con giuria. Giornalista attivo, mostrando in filosofia e letteratura l'influenza di Victor Cousin, si dice che la sua figura fosse l'originale del personaggio di Honoré de Balzac, Henri de Marsay. Firmò anche la protesta dei giornalisti contro le ordinanze del luglio 1830, e nell'ottobre seguente fu eletto deputato per la Haute Garonne. Nel 1836 divenne per un breve periodo di tempo sottosegretario di Stato per l'interno e poi un alleato fedele di Adolphe Thiers, tenendo nel 1840 il ministero degli Interni per un breve periodo. Nello stesso anno divenne anche accademico. Per il resto del regno di Luigi Filippo fu all'opposizione fino a quando Thiers, nel suo tentatò di prendere il potere nella primavera del 1848. Nel 1848 e nel 1849 fu rieletto, per la Haute Garonne nelle file dei conservatori. Dovette però lasciare la Francia dopo il colpo di stato, e non rientrò nella vita politica che durante il Secondo Impero se non dopo il 1869, quando fondò un giornale moderato di opposizione a Tolosa. Nel 1871 rifiutò la carica di ambasciatore a Vienna offertagli da Thiers, ma nel mese di agosto dello stesso anno venne poi nominato ministro degli Affari Esteri in successione a Jules Favre. Durante la sua astensione dalla vita politica Rémusat continuò a scrivere di storia e filosofica, soprattutto su temi inglesi come appunto: Saint Anselme de Cantorbery che apparve nel 1854; L'Angleterre au ... son temps, ecc, scritto nel 1858, John Wesley nel 1870, Lord Herbert de Cherbury nel 1874, Histoire de la philosophie en Angleterre depuis Bacone jusqu'à Locke nel 1875, oltre a altre opere e minori. Questo scritto è un brillante e divertente racconto dove le impressioni di viaggio sono una scusa per raccogliere impressioni della vita sociale e civile delle campagne inglesi e per analizzare i processi umani che si sviluppano fra individui di classi sociali diverse. L'autore descrive le esperienze vissute in particolare nei villaggi e delle città di Kingsford, Lynmore, Winchester e Londra ed è presente un capitolo dedicato al gioco del cricket. Buon esemplare completo della brossura editoriale. First edition, good copy.

Roy. 4to., First Edition thus, on laid paper, text in Latin throughout, with a frontispiece (original captioned tissue guard present), title in red and black, and 6 plates (all original captioned tissue guards present), free endpapers lightly spotted; original faux-vellum boards printed in red and black, very neatly rebacked with holland lettered in black, hinges neatly strengthened with passe-partout, uncut, a very bright, crisp, tight copy. Sold from an institution with its cancelled bookplate on front paste-down and small neat stamps on title and plate versos. With a personal bookplate on front free endpaper. An important account of one of the key periods in the history of the Carthusians in London. In 1535, when the majority of Carthusians refused the Oath of Supremacy Chauncy was one of the few to concede, an act that he was never thereafter able to reconcile with his conscience. With the accession of Queen Mary hopes for a Catholic restoration were revived and Chauncy was elected prior of a small gathering of monks at Sheen, but the dramatic events of 1558 forced them to flee to Bruges. After many relocations in the Low Countries, Chancy died at Bruges in 1581. His vivid account of the martyrdom of most of his fellow London Carthusians (supported by graphic, almost gruesome, plates showing the various forms of torture and execution) was evidently one attempt at restoring his faith. Very scarce.
