Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. An attractive facsimile printing of the second enlarged edition of the amusing biography, including a colour title lead, and notes on Alken and Nimrod. A charming facsimile of the Second revised and enlarged edition of the Memoirs of the Life of the Late John Mytton, the influential biography on the Re…gency rake, eccentric and politician, written by sport journalist and author Charles James Apperley under the pseudonym Nimrod. Believed to have been printed in 1914, originally published in 1837. In the publisher's original green cloth, with a colour title leaf, frontispiece, and nineteen other colour plates by British painters Henry Thomas Alken and T.J. Rawlins. This particular facsimile contains an insightful introduction on Alken's illustrations, written by British art collector and journalist Joseph Grego, and an introductory notice on Nimrod written by H.C. A friend of his subject, Nimrod's biography on Mytton is perhaps more famous than the larger-than-life figure himself, and such is due to his brilliant recounting of Mytton's various exploits, including bribing voters into parliament, attempting to jump over a tollgate with horse and carriage, and many other wild stories In the publisher's original green cloth. Externally, mostly smart, with small marks to front board extremities and to the rear board, and slight bumping to the head and tail of the spine, and to the extremities. End papers are bright and clean with minor signs of browning. Internally, firmly bound, with very minor wear to hinge between plate and p.51. Pages are bright and clean. Very Good. Henry Thomas Alken, T.J. Rawlins (illustrator). book.

First Edition. First Printing. Octavo. 21.5cm. Publisher's original pebble grain deep brown cloth titled and embellished in gilt to front board. [iv]; [2]; 110pp. Tight, clean and strong, a little bumping and scuffing to extremities, light sunning to spine, very handsome; internally clean and fresh, brown endpapers with armorial… bookplate to front pastedown, tipped into the prelims (actually affixed to the rear of the frontis by a stub) is an addressed postal paper, probably the front of an envelope, bearing Mytton's signature, an 1820 Shrewsbury postal frank, and the address of Mrs. Lethbridge, the married name of Mytton's sister; the 12 hand colored plates by Alken are spectacularly bright and striking, tissue guards are present. An outstandingly clean and attractive copy, if it is possible for a book that has made its way from 1835 to be described as "near fine", then this fits the bill. The book in the hand is quite a slight volume, but is housed in one of the most luxurious book boxes we have encountered; a deep red levant morocco case by Sangorski, with a push button clasp, a rather decadent cushioned velvet lining, and a drop front for ease of opening. The book itself has a tailor made red cloth and board chemise. Also present in the case are old catalog entries for the book, one of which is on a Bernard Quaritch letterhead, and a three page typed analysis of the title in all its editions and permutations by Ernest R. Gee, one of the most legendary New York dealers in sporting and hunting books. Quaritch's pencil notes to the front flyleaf state: "Very rare in original condition. Extremely fine and perfect copy", which for them is the equivalent of throwing a parade. The bookplate is that of noted collector of fine books E. Hubert Litchfield, whose legendary library was auctioned off in 1951, like so many post-war libraries from country seats of extinguished gentry. John "Mad Jack" Mytton himself was probably the epitome of the early 19th century fearless noble rake. Frequently in his own lifetime compared to that other luminous doomed libertine, Lord John Rochester; Mytton was an alcoholic (he took 2000 bottles of port with him to college), a gambler, by the standards of the time a womaniser, and as Rifleman Harris would say; "A courtier to my Lord Bacchus and an unremitting debtor." Regardless of his belief that moral highground was just something to gallop one's hounds over, during his lifetime Mytton was very much loved by his friends, associates, and servants. A mad eccentric, whose life can best be described as a series of enthusiastically botched suicide attempts, he was also generous to a fault, utterly without fear, completely at home in his own lunacy, kind, thoughtful, creative, and very much a product of his time. When he wasn't dressing as a highwayman to terrify rural clergy, or hunting wildfowl in winter, at night, on ice.naked, he was riding a bear into dinner parties, accidentally setting himself on fire to cure hiccups, and dressing up as a tramp to test the charity of his own estate staff (he ended up fist fighting his own under butler when they failed to be forthcoming). He was dead by 38, riddled with alcoholism and compounded injury, and just like with Rochester, his light went down entangled with the dark. Accounts vary, but something like 3500 people including his tenants and servants, attended his funeral, including a beautiful young woman named Susan whom Mytton had met on Westminster Bridge in 1831 and promptly offered a salary of 500 pounds a year to be his companion; she stayed with him until his death. A rare book lavishly preserved, commemorating a type of man that for better or worse, no longer exists.
