Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. The books in this 3 Volume set are all hard-bound in brown, speckled cloth with gilt and black stamping on the upper covers and spines, and with black stamping on the lower covers. The covers are in excellent condition, showing only light rubbing to the corners and spine-ends, and light sunning to the spines. There are some faint mottling spots to the bottom edge of the lower cover of Volume I. The front hinge of Volume I is cracked causing some play in the upper cover, and the text-block is "starting" at a few spots, but with the binding still solid. Volume II has the front hinge cracked, and the text-block shows the beginning of separation at a few places near the center, with a few signatures (groups of pages) loosening. Volume III has light wear to the hinges, but with the binding solid. There are previous owner signatures on the half title-pages. Overall excellent exterior condition and contents, but with the bindings loosening.

Cloth. Zustand: Good. None (illustrator). Lord Hervey's frank memoir of George II. Hervey was a courtier and political writer. It was said he had affairs with many notable figures including Anne Vane, Lady Montagu, Princess Caroline, Francesco Algarotti and possibly Prince Frederick. The memoirs were published posthumously due to their unflattering view of the King, Prince Frederick, and their family arguments. The manuscript was preserved by Hervey's family and his son left clear instructions that the work was not to be published until George III's death. The work was first published in 1848 having been edited by J W Croker. These memoirs have been regarded as resembling those of Horace Walpole and the two books mutually support the veracity of several of the outlandish claims.

Erstausgabe
Folio, pp. 8; disbound. First edition of a clever satire on John, Lord Hervey, a bisexual courtier of considerable notoriety whose Epistle from a Nobleman to a Doctor of Divinity, an ill-advised attack in verse on Pope, had appeared in November 1733. This response first appeared in January of the following year. The public on the whole judged Hervey's poem as reckless and foolish, as the author here makes clear: But in the name of ev'ry Wonder, How came you thus on P--pe to blunder? If in a silly waspish Mood Resolv'd to lash at all that's good; Virtue and Honour to bespatter, By squirting out unmeaning Satyr, As little Curs provok'd, make Water (p. 6) Several pirated editions of this satire quickly followed, with changes in the text, including the omission of several lines on Hervey's flamboyant effeminacy. Pope himself responded as well, most notably in his Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot, in which Hervey is memorably portrayed as Sporus, the castrated boy whom Nero had transformed into his wife. Foxon T322; Guerinot, Pamphlet attacks on Pope, p. 339. This folio was sold for sixpence; in this copy the price at the foot of the title-page has been largely rubbed out, though it is still legible.

Folio, pp. 8; some spotting, but otherwise a rather splendid copy, entirely uncut, and apparently never bound; the two bifolia held together by a pin. Probably a second edition (though not described as such on the title-page), with 'Distinction' (as opposed to 'distinction') in the last line on p. 4; the inner forme of sheet B appears to be the same setting in both printings. Guerinot pp. 224-6; Foxon V40.
