About this Item

"Although the life of Walter Spencer-Stanhope [b.1749] occupies a large proportion of the present volumes, it is not the object of these pages to present one particular biography. They aim rather to be a record of certain facts and anecdotes gleaned from the papers of that old Yorkshire house of which he became owner . [when he inherited] two estates and a considerable income . he immediately announced his intention of assuming the name of Spencer in prefix to his name of Stanhope and so became the representative of the two Yorkshire houses ." "With 3 Portraits in Color, 3 in Photogravure and 33 Other Illustrations." Complete in Two Volumes. From private collection. Cloth discolored along spines. Pages show foxing throughout; still, a solid reading and reference copy. Seller Inventory # 8496
