Item description from seller

An interesting diary focusing on the political scenes in the eighteenth century, written by George Bubb Dodington. This diary is one of the best sources on British politics in the eighteenth century, containing gossip of the government and significant figures within society at that time. George Dodington was a political and nobleman. He was close friends with Frederick the Prince of Wales, the father of George III. Dodington was a collector, with his house in Hammersmith being the popular salon of political and cultural discussions. He was said to be part of a spy ring, collecting information about Jacobite activities, and has been described as an indefatigable schemer. His dairies were published by Henry Penruddocke Wyndham, after his papers were left to him upon his death. In the original full calf binding. Externally, the front board may detach with further handling. Light marking to the boards, being significantly heavier to the rear board. Patches of rubbing to the spine, with some surface cracks and loss to the head and the tail. Light bumping to the extremities. Discolouration to the endpapers.Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright with the odd scattered spot. Good Only.…
