Seller: Amnesty Bookshop - Brighton, Brighton, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Facsimile reprint for the Roxburghe Club, with a foreword by WIlliam Rees-Mogg, of a version of the Life of William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland; originally written by the author in 1766. Covers the whole life story of the man sometimes known as the Butcher and/or Sweet William following the battle of Culloden. At the end of the book there are copies of two letters by the author to Dr. Samuel Johnson. This is a rather elegantly understated publication with bottle green cloth boards and gilt (gold) titles at the head and tail of the spine. Internally, the condition is overall very sound with a small amount of wrinkling of some of the book's preliminary pages (and a little of the main text) in the top right-hand corner. pp. xxx, 318/8vo (medium octavo). Please note that, depending on destination, we may request an additional payment to cover any extra shipping/postage charges. Proceeds to Amnesty International. Abe2339.
