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

From Wikipedia: "John Berry Haycraft was a professor in physiology and carried out important medical research. Haycraft was born in Lewes Sussex England in 1859 and received his medical education in Edinburgh. He worked for a time in Ludwig's laboratory in Leipzig. In 1881 he was appointed chair of physiology at Mason College which later became the University of Birmingham. He taught in Birmingham and attracted many students to the city. During his years in Birmingham and Edinburgh Haycraft had been actively engaged in research and published papers on the coagulation of blood and in 1884 he discovered that the leech secreted a powerful anticoagulant which he named hirudin although it was not isolated until the 1950s nor its structure fully determined until 1976. Haycraft returned to London 1892 and was appointed a research scholar of the British Medical Association. In 1893 he was appointed chair of physiology at University College Cardiff where he worked until retirement in 1920. Haycraft died three years later." Swan Sonnenschein & Co hardcover
