Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jeremy Belazard [Dustwrapper design] (illustrator). First Edition. First impression of the true first edition. Illustrated with seven colour and eighteen black and white plates, including a frontispiece showing 'The Right Honourable Sir Francis Bacon, Knight, Lord High Chancellor of England (engraving by Francis Holl after Simon Pass)'. ***Very good in dark brown cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to spine. Head of spine slightly creased. Corners sharp. Boards clean and unmarked. Fore-edge and top edge of page block lightly foxed, not affecting interior pages. Dark orange endpapers and pastedowns decorated with circular decorative black stamp Mediocria Firma (Mediocrity is Surest) - this motto was used by the famous philosopher, scientist and politician, Sir Francis Bacon (sometime Baron Verulam) (1561-1626) - see attached scans). There is a neat bookseller's ink-stamp to the front free endpaper. ***In a very good colour illustrated dustwrapper, which is not price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's price of £6.50. Dustwrapper lightly rubbed and creased at the extremities, and to the head and tail of the spine. ***236mm x 160mm. 254 pages including index. ***'''All rising to great place is by a winding stair,' wrote Sir Francis Bacon. It wasn't until he was 45 that Bacon's feet found the first step on that staircase, when King James I made him Solicitor-General, from where he rose through the ranks to become Lord Chancellor. Many accounts of the life of Sir Francis Bacon have been written for scholars, but Du Maurier's aim was to paint a vivid portrait of this remarkable man for the common reader. In "The Winding Stair", she illuminates the considerable achievements of this Renaissance man as a writer, lawyer, philosopher, scientist, and politician. [Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ***First edition of the true first edition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging - this book is fairly large and heavy and will cost more than the average shipping price quoted on ABE: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
