About this Item

Hardcover. Printed by Horace Walpole at his Strawberry-Hill Press nearly 50 years after the account was first written by Lord Whitworth. In his introductory advertisement Walpole explains that he acquired the manuscript from Richard Owen Cambridge Esq. who purchased it along with a set of books relating to Russian history. Lord Whitworth (1675 - 1725) was an English diplomat that served as the ambassador to Russia in the early 1700s. This account colored many Englishmens' perceptions of Russian affairs for many years after publication. Professionally rebacked with the original dark brown title labels to the spine and the original brown leather boards. Raised bands and gilt rules to spine with gilt devices to corners of boards and gilt dentelles. Wear to corners with tips of boards exposed and minor rubbing to edges. Offsetting from leather turnins to endpapers. A few spots of light soiling to margins, but clean and bright overall. Bookplate of W. Douro Hoare with an illustration of a stag head. An attractive volume despite the noted repair. 158 pages with errata leaf. RUS/062322. Seller Inventory # 35695
