Mary Berry 1763-1852 grew up in a family of modest fortune yet she knew a great many important people including Princess Caroline of Wales the estranged wife of the Regent their daughter Princess Charlotte and the author Mme. de Stael who described Mary as "by far the cleverest woman in England." Mary met Lord Byron and Napoleon but her greatest friend was Horace Walpole the society wit letter-writer and builder of the neo-gothic extravaganza Strawberry Hill. Walpole who met Berry and her younger sister Agnes when they were in their twenties became so fascinated by their wit and wisdom that he persuaded them to settle with their father near him at "Little Strawberry Hill" which he bequeathed to them in his will. He left them his manuscripts as well and Mary Berry became the editor of his works. She also authored a play and a study of English and French society but our collection of her journal entries and letters put together by Lady Theresa Lewis 1803-65 is Mary Berry's most enduring legacy. The journal begins when Mary at 20 sets out with her father and Agnes for a tour of Holland Switzerland and Italy where she looks at paintings attends plays and records the ups and downs of stagecoach travel. The letters and entries in her journal written until her death give a rare picture of her times and her clever and endearing personality. At the same time some entries are melancholic in which she attributes falling short of achievements commensurate with the level of her abilities and never experiencing marriage and motherhood. Besides charming portraits of the Berry sisters the illustrations in our expanded set depict the authors they read Dryden for example the painters whose works they viewed the many notable figures they met or gossiped about royalty politicians actresses people of fashion and views of the places they visited. Our lovely set was produced by the London bindery of W. T. Morrell established about 1861 as successor to the firm begun by Francis Bedford who in turn had taken over the famous bindery of Charles Lewis. Prideaux in her "Modern Bookbindings" published in 1906 says that Morrell at that time had a very large business that supplied "all the booksellers with bindings designed by his men" bindings that were "remarkable for their variety and merit." The six volumes here look remarkably attractive on the shelf. Longmans, Green, and Co unknown
1909399497Lumberton N.C.: Lumbee Publishing Company / Freeman Printing Company 1909. Softcover. Near Fine. Fourth edition of the Norment account; and first edition with the updated history of Robeson County with particular emphasis on the Tuscarora and Lumbee Indians by Olds. Octavo. 192pp. illustrated from photographs. Illustrated printed brown wrappers. Slight loss at the spine ends but a handsome else near fine copy. Henry Berry Lowrie of mixed Native American Portuguese and probably African-American blood was made an outlaw in part to escape conscription in the Confederate forces in the Civil War and for possessing firearms which mixed race people were forbidden to own since the Nat Turner Rebellion and led a gang of similarly stigmatized blacks and Native Americans in North Carolina and was considered something of a Robin Hood figure. After the War Lowrie and his gang while by no means angels engaging in robbery and murder of establishment figures fought against the reinforcement of white supremacy by reconstruction officials and gained the sympathy and protection of the non-white population. While most of the gang was eventually killed or captured Henry Berry Lowrie's fate in true legendary fashion was disputed: some saying he died cleaning his shotgun others that he escaped and was occasionally seen in the area. This initial account by Mary Norment whose husband was killed by the Lowries while unsympathetic is nevertheless compelling. Usually found rebound and this copy is very scarce the wrappers.
