No binding. 420 x 500 mm., etching on fine thick paper with large margins, in good condition. A magnificent series of extremely high quality etchings of great rarity. The first Earl Harcourt was governor to the royal princes and in the early 1750s his children, George Simon the Viscount Nuneham and Lady Elizabeth Harcourt took lessons in drawing from Richard Dalton and landscape from George Knapton, Joshua Kirby and Alexander Cozens. It is known that they on occasion were taught in the company of the royal princes. The Harcourt family had owned Stanton Harcourt in Oxfordshire since the Norman Conquest but in 1712 had acquired Newnham Courtenay. The first Earl moved the family there and renamed it Nuneham. Also associated with the family at this time was the great artist Paul Sandby (1725-1809). In 1760 a painting of his of Nuneham was exhibited at the Society of Artists.The Viscount (1736-1809) was a Francophile at heart and loved the old family home which connected himself to the Normans. Like his father he was a patron of the arts although at the more extreme for the period. He befriended Rousseau who actually stayed with him during his exile from France. In 1760 Nuneham drew two images (plates I & IV) of the old Stanton-Harcourt family home. In the same year Paul Sandby provided a third, critically acclaimed the best. In 1763 Nuneham etched the three and produced a fourth drawing which he etched the following year. His contemporary Horace Walpole wrote on 16 March 1763 that the first two prints were "the richest etchings I ever saw, and masterly executed". He noted also that Nuneham was planning two more. Despite the statements on the prints to the contrary there is some evidence from the pencil notes of Sandby that it was he who drew the original views.In 1785 Viscount Nuneham, the then second Earl Harcourt, presented the original copperplates for the series of four views to the Society of Antiquaries. A second edition, offered here, dedicated to the Society was printed in the same year.

8vo. 1 p. Namenszug unterhalb seines Portraits. - 1906 wurde er als Liberaler erstmals ins Parlament gewählt. 1910 wurde er als Solicitor-General in die Regierung Asquith berufen und 1913 zum Attorney General befördert. Im Mai 1915 wurde er als Nachfolger von Reginald McKenna Innenminister in der neugebildeten Koalitionsregierung unter Asquith, trat aber nach einem Jahr aus Protest gegen die Einführung der Wehrpflicht zurück. Um Zweifel an seinem Patriotismus zu zerstreuen, diente er dann im Stab des Royal Flying Corps unter Hugh Trenchard.Nach Kriegsende arbeitete Simon zunächst wieder als Barrister, nachdem er seinen Parlamentssitz verloren hatte. Von 1927 bis 1931 leitete er die Statutskommission für Britisch-Indien, die Empfehlungen für eine indische Verfassung ausarbeiten sollte. Bei der Spaltung der Liberalen Partei 1931 wurde Simon Vorsitzender der Nationalliberalen und später Außenminister in der Nationalen Regierung von Ramsay MacDonald. Unter MacDonalds Nachfolger Stanley Baldwin wurde er 1935 Innenminister und unter Chamberlain 1937 Chancellor of the Exchequer (bis 1940). In diesem Jahr wurde er als Viscount Simon zum Peer erhoben und zum Lordkanzler der Regierung Churchill ernannt. Da er jedoch zusammen mit Samuel Hoare als Hauptverantwortlicher für die gescheiterte Appeasement-Politik galt, wurde er nicht Mitglied des engeren Kriegs-Kabinetts. Dazu trug auch bei, dass er bei den Parteifreunden und anderen Politiker außerordentlich unbeliebt war und als Opportunist galt, der sich überall anbiederte.Nach dem Labour-Wahlsieg 1945 zog er sich aus dem öffentlichen Leben zurück. Bei der Rückkehr Churchills an die Regierung im Jahre 1951 wurde ihm kein Ministerposten angeboten.

Horatio Nelson's set with his ink signature ("Nelson & Bronte") on the front free endpaper of volumes VI, VII, and VIII, and occasional marginal pencil marks. This is the first edition to be translated by Francis Blagdon, being volumes V-VIII in the publisher's Modern Discoveries series. The review in the Monthly Mirror may have caught Nelson's eye, which noted that "the abilities of Mr Blagdon are fully adequate to this important undertaking. We have no doubt that this publication will become extremely popular". Nelson has recently (April-June 1801) concluded a term as second-in-command Baltic Fleet, which, naturally, brought him into contact with Britain's Russian allies. In this theatre, Russia "did not share the maritime commercial interests of her Scandinavian clients: she sought control of the theatre, and a rapprochement, or worse, with France. The British had long recognised this strain in Russian policy. Consequently, Denmark, Prussia, and Sweden were coerced into following a Russian programme, which had at its heart the assertion of dominance over their countries, and the establishment of the Baltic as a Russian mare clausum [closed sea] - a consistent aim of Russian policy since the days of Peter the Great" (Lambert, p. 189). For this journey through Russia, the German naturalist and traveller Peter Simon Pallas (1741-1811), accompanied by his wife and daughter and the artist C. G. H. Geissler, travelled down the Volga to Astrakhan and then through the Caucasus to the Crimea. His earlier, gruelling, six-year expedition through Siberia to the borders of China (1768-74) resulted in one of the most acclaimed contemporary accounts of those regions, Travels into Siberia and Tartary. Cross D67 (for the Longman edition); Troelstra p. 331. Andrew Lambert, Nelson: Britannia's God of War, 2005. 4 vols, duodecimo. With 22 engraved plates (2 folding). Uncut in original pale blue-grey boards sometime neatly rebacked preserving the original labels. Housed in a custom leather-entry pale green cloth slipcase. Some stripping of paper from boards of vols. II-IV, pale tidemark to back cover of Vol. III, inner hinges cracked but firm, that of Vol. IV holding on one cord at front, damp staining at beginning and end of Vol. II, general toning and dust marking, paper flaw to leaf H13 Vol. I (without loss), yet this remains a very good set.
