pp. (3), 144. 12mo. 204 mm. Original blue cloth binding. Spine lettered in gold gilt: "The Stanhope Miscellanies." On the front flyleaf there is a author's manuscript inscription: "With Lord Mahon's Compliments." Viscount Mahon, the 5th Earl Stanhope, Philip Henry Stanhope (1805-1875), was an English historian, politician, and antiquary. He was undersecretary for foreign affairs (1834-1835) in Sir Robert Peel's first ministry and secretary of the board of control (1845-1846). As a legislator he favored repeal of the corn laws and secured passage of the Copyright Act of 1842. As a founder of the National Portrait Gallery (1859), and a prime mover in organizing the Historical Manuscripts Commission (1869) he left a lasting legacy to the nation. In addition, the various histories he wrote provide us with insights no available elsewhere. W148 Rear

56 leaves. Paper browned and very brittle. Top edge gilt. Though once ribon tied into boards, this is now disbound and fragile. This is likely part of the edition of only five hundred and twenty copies printed for England and America combined. This example apparently lacks the preliminaries, including the introduction. Still, it is interesting as an illustration of the look of early English printing. SW5 Lower Left
