Printed paper covered boards. xii, 95 pp., [1]. 16mo. Printed by T. C. Hansard. The first known edition of this book was published in 1809, though it was then only 36 pages and the author identified as Peter Weber. A later edition, only slightly expanded, was published in 1818, and the author was identified as Thomas Howard. This new edition was greatly enlarged and published in 1825 (there was also a longer edition published in 1825 by a different publisher). The author is identified in later editions as G. A. Siddons. The edition offered here is the basis for the first American edition by Ansel Phelps published the same year as well as the source of all later editions into the 20th century. Robert Mussey, in his introduction to a reprint of the 1827 American edition, points out that this work contains the first mention of French polishing and of glass-paper (sandpaper). Hundreds of thousands of copies were printed in the fourteen known and over seventy pirated editions. "Students of furniture and finishing history should find this an invaluable source for the interpretation of our antique furniture heritage." Advertisements on back cover. Scarce. OCLC shows only 5 copies of this edition.

More than 100 Russian éminences grises --- First edition of this interesting account of the 18th-century Russian royal favourites who shaped the Imperial politics from the reign of Peter the Great to Paul I, based on contemporary and eyewitness testimonies. The anonymous author, who describes himself as having spent many years in Russia, traces the story of each favourite in chronological order, drawing on what he describes as "oral, written, and printed" sources. From Prince Menshikov and Admiral François Lefort under Peter I to Prince Platon Zubov, the last favourite of Catherine the Great, the list includes figures of varied origins and roles: Anna Kramer, General Prince Grigory Orlov, Field Marshal Prince Grigory Potemkin, Ivan Betskoy (president of the Imperial Academy of Arts), and many lesser-known names alongside them - to reach a total of 110 short biographies. Each entry combines detailed biographical narrative with close analysis of the subject's relationship with the sovereign, and observations on their character, appearance, and behaviour. The work was later attributed to Georg Adolf Wilhelm von Helbig (17571813), Saxon diplomat and historian. He served as secretary to the Saxon embassy in Saint Petersburg for eight years from 1787, placing him at court during the final years of Catherine's reign. Written in the turbulent times of mid-1808, when Russia was simultaneously at war with Persia, England, Turkey, and Sweden, and Napoleon's campaigns were shaking Europe, the book was translated into Russian only in 1886, published in the journalRusskaia Starinaunder the titleRusskie Izbranniki, with significant omissions imposed by censorship. The complete Russian text appeared outside Russia, in Berlin and only in 1900. A short poem by Johann Nikolaus Götz (172181) is placed at the beginning, in which he compares the world to an opera stage upon which each person rises according to their inclinations and abilities an epigraph for the gallery of personalities who follows, rising through luck, charm, and opportunism to achieve extraordinary influence in an era of absolute monarchy. Götz was a German clergyman, epigrammatist, and leading representative of German Anacreontic verse. Provenance: D.M.P. (gilt lettering to spine foot); Jean Möllinger in Pfeddersheim (stamp to title; Möllinger (18231906) was a Hessian landowner and politician); from the estate of Prof. Philip Longworth (1933-2021, historian and writer, esp. on Russian history). Physical description:Octavo (12 x 14,4 cm).

Condition:Binding lightly rubbed with minimal paper loss, boards anciently protected with plastic film; light foxing throughout, sometimes heavier with occasional staining, creasing or minor tearing, but in good condition overall.
