Octavo, red buckram (hardcover), gilt letters and decoration to upper cover, portrait frontis., top edge gilt, xli, 214 pp. Very Good, with sunned spine and light foxing (age darkened spotting) to page edges. From Preface: It may be of service to the reader to explain the arrangement of this volume. In the Introduction which precedes the Autobiography, I have attempted -- firstly, to describe Lord Herbert's varied character, as displayed in his own writings and historical records; and secondly, to review his eminent achievements in literature and philosophy, of which he himself has given no account. In the essay which succeeds the Autobiography, I have tried to trace his political career in detail from 1624 -- the year when his own memoirs abruptly terminate -- to 1648, the date of his death. In an appendix I have printed several original illustrative documents, many extracts from Herbert's unpublished correspondence, and some historical notes on topics to which frequent allusion is made in the Autobiography on the assumption -- no longer justifiable -- that they are matters of common knowledge. Former editors have treated the work as a mere curiosity of literature. I have endeavored in my notes and elsewhere to prove that it deserves the serious attention of the student, not only of English literature, but of English social history in the early seventeenth century. My text is that of the first printed edition issued from Horace Walpole's private press in 1764. I differ from that text alone in my treatment of proper names. Soon after I had set myself the task of identifying the persons mentioned by Lord Herbert, I came to the conclusion that the names had very often been wrongly transcribed and my notes will, I trust, justify the changes I have made.

An authoritative work on one of the most remarkable figures in English history. Marshal, the only knight to have a contemporary biography written about him, was possibly the greatest tournament knight in Europe in his time, a man of extraordinary physical prowess, and an example and advocate of emerging ideas of chivalry and fighting service throughout Europe, winning immense wealth through his championship on the field, wealth, in those days of aristocratic sponsorship, that would dwarf a Tennis or football champion today. He was a mentor to his sporting generation respected for his redoubtable and humourous character. He also became a highly effective general under Richard the Lionheart and other kings whose grateful grants of land eventually made him one of the great landed magnates of the realm. In the chaos of King John's war with most of his barons, he proved to be the only figure sufficiently respected by all sides to broker a deal of sorts. His championship of Magna Carta sought to secure a constitutional arrangement which established basic rights, still foundational for our own time. On John's death the country was heading to civil war. He staked his life and all his wealth to secure the constitution under the existing Plantagenet dynasty in the person of the child Henry, John's eldest son, who he crowned Henry III. But Henry's minority threatened anarchy and the French had already invaded. He defeated the French, himself still fighting in the thick of the battle at the Seige of Lincoln aged seventy, when few survived, even infirm, beyond their fifties, including aristocracy. He was chosen to be Regent of England to secure the peace, which he did effectively and generously. With that, and helped by his defeat of the French king Louis, he thereby propelled the nascent sense of Englishness in the embryonic English nation. He remains one of the most important figures of our constitution to this day through his championship of Magna Carta which he re-issued under his own seal during his Regency. A fierce old man, but much loved, loyal to those who depended on him. Having survived the whimsical rule of Steven and John, he summoned to his deathbed the boy king Henry, for whom he had won the throne telling him that, if he wasn't a good king, he prayed that he should be damned by God. He finally declined towards death with loyal friends around him, his daughter singing to him, and his wife with him to whom, unusually for the times, he had remained faithful throughout their long close marriage. Not a bad end for someone who began as the younger son of minor gentry. And until recently hardly anyone knew anything about him. Copies issued by Routledge/Taylor & Francis from 2003 till Feb 2015 did not have illustrations and this copy is one of those. Otherwise fine in illustrated boards.…
