xxii 386 pages. There is minor vfoxing to the preliminaries and end papers, else a clean, unmarked and solid copy, though obviously second hand. Includes a biographical foreword by Peter Quennell who translate Princess Lieven's letters with the assistance of Dilys Powell. "This book consists of exerpts of letters written by Princess Lieven to Prince Metternich, that she chose to save. It is a fascinating insight into someone who was very prominent during the Regency and the reign of George IV. I enjoyed it very much. However, since it is not complete copies of the letters themselves, and his replies are not included, it does not give a complete picture. I would recommend this to anyone interested in England during the Regency or Victorian eras." (Lauren Gilbert goodreads).

Store description
Good Reading was established in 1991. In early 2013, I downsized from a shop which spanned a block and two stories to a largish house which resembles a rabbit warren. There are at approximately 40,000 titles, including over 10,000 books in Italian, French, German, Modern Greek, Latin and classical Greek., most of which have not yet been catalogued. I also have a very large Theology section, and a substantial cookery and Australian History one. Please contact me if there is a specific title you are chasing as it may be languishing on the shelf uncatalogued. All enquiries will be answered promptly, books will be mailed out swaddled like Russian babies, and all faults honestly described. I do a full refund for any book sporting nasty surprises.…
