Erstausgabe
First edition, this a handsome copy. "Until recentlyMary Berrylived in the shadow ofHorace Walpole. Scholars have now drawn attention to her letters and journals, for the light they throw on women's history The picture she gives of English society from mid-Georgian to mid-Victorian, as well as French society in the same period, is richly detailed" (ODNB). In the 1780s, Mary Berry (1763-1852) and her sister Agnes (1764-1852) became friends and correspondents with Horace Walpole, the splendid old gossip describing Mary, with typical flair, as "Suavissima Maria": "The relationship appears to have been one of amiable badinage and warm affection laced by a characteristic sexless flirtation onWalpole'sside" (ODNB). Her editor, Lady Theresa Lewis (1759-1827) - "the only sister in a close-knit, high-spirited, and sharply opinionated family of five brothers" (ODNB) is described by Lord Redesdale as "a most fascinating hostess: clever, agreeable, accomplished". Her The Lives of the Friends and Contemporaries of Lord Chancellor Clarendon (1852), a forebear, has been characterized by historian Richard Ollard as "equally valuable for its information and intelligence". Provenance: Dudley Marjoribanks, first Baron Tweedmouth (1820-94), with his dark red leather roundel book labels. Three volumes, octavo (211 x 130 mm). Late 19th century red morocco, smooth spines richly gilt, dark green morocco twin labels, sides with border of gilt French fillets, single gilt fillet to board edges, dark yellowish green surface-paper endpapers, gilt edges. Steel-engraved portrait frontispiece to each vol., etched view of the Miss Berrys' birthplace. A couple of light bumps to the back over of vol. I, minor shelf wear. A very good set.
