Hardcover. Condition: Good. First of this edition. Heinemann, 1899. First edition in two volumes, complete in this edition. "With Introduction and Preface by C. A. Sainte-Beuve and Madame de Stael-Holstein", two of the great salon keepers of the era. "Illustrated with Portraits from the Original". Ivory (vellum) paper spines with green cloth boards. An elegant set, spines evenly darkened but bright. Foxing to edges of text throughout. Uneven tanning to endpapers. Nevertheless, an elegant set. Charles-Joseph Lamorel (1735-1814) the 7th Prince de Ligne, became the intimate friend and counselor of Emperor Joseph II, and, inheriting his father's vast estates, lived in the greatest splendor and luxury until the War of the Bavarian Succession brought him again into active service. This war was short and uneventful, and the prince then traveled in England, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and France, devoting himself impartially to the courts, the camps, the salons and the learned assemblies of philosophers and scientists in each country. De Ligne was promoted to Feldzeugmeister (full general) on 8 September 1787. He earned the Commander's Cross of the Order of Maria Theresa on 12 October 1789. In 1787 he was with Catherine II in Russia and accompanied her in her journey to the Crimea. Charles-Joseph lived in comparative luxury in his later life, and devoted himself to his literary work. His collected works appeared in thirty-four volumes at Vienna during the last years of his life (Mélanges militaires, littéraires, sentimentaires). Selections were published in French, German and English. He was a member of the "Distinguished Order of the Golden Fleece", founded in 1430, which has been referred to as the most prestigious and historic order of chivalry in the world.
