Item description from seller

[Fine Binding; Royal armorial Bookplate of Prince George of Cambridge (1819-1904)] 11 volume set. Octavo. Includes the 3 volume set of The Life of Edward Earl of Clarendon, 1826. Uniformally bound on 3/4 crimson moroccan leather over marble boards. All edges gilt. Binding in good condition, with the exception of the rear board detached from the first volume of Clarendon's life. Pages clean, unmarked. Title has Prince George's royal stamp. Prince George of Cambridge (1819-1904) was the grandson of King George III. He commanded the British army from 1856 to 1895. The History of the Rebellion and Civil Wars in England is a work begun in exile during the late 1640s and was revised and completed in renewed exile after Clarendon's fall from royal favor in 1667. Clarendon was a close adviser to two kings, and his intimacy with many of the key events is unrivaled. Though his narrative is inevitably partisan, the ambitious range of his analysis and his mastery of character portraiture make the History an extraordinary accomplishment. Almost fifty years later, Clarendon's great-grandson presented his papers and manuscripts to Oxford University on the understanding that all profits from the copyright of the History were to be used to finance buildings for the University press. This is an oversized or heavy book that requires additional postage for international delivery outside of Canada and the US.…
