About This Item

(From the Paris Edition, Amsterdam?): 1639., 1639 pp. (9), 364 + Folding charts. Woodcut illustrations. Damp stained. Small 24mo. [120 x 65 mm.] Worn contemporary full leather binding. Boards detached. Fine engraved armorial (1713) Ex Libris of Henry Grey (1664?-1740), Duke of Kent; and Thomas Philip (1781-1859), 3rd Baron Grantham, Earl de Grey. The text used here can probably be principally attributed to Henri, duc de Rohan. This example was owned by Henry Grey who was created Duke of Kent in 1710, and was one of the Lords Justices after the death of Queen Anne in 1714, and held various offices at the court during the reign of George I. Another distinguished owner was Thomas Philip, 3rd Baron Grantham, Earl de Grey. In 1831 De Grey was appointed yeomanry aide-de-camp to William IV, and held a similar post in 1837 under Queen Victoria. In Sir Robert Peel's first administration he held office as First Lord of the Admiralty. He was lord-Lieutenant of Ireland 1841 to 1844, and during that period was Grand Master of the Order of St. Patrick . On his return from Ireland he was created a knight of the Garter. He discharged the functions of his Vice Regal position impartially and with credit, and his retirement was much regretted by the people of Dublin. De Grey was the first president of the Institution of British Architects from its foundation in 1834, 'til his death. He was also a fellow of the Royal Society, 29 April 1841, a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, and served as one of the New Palace commissioners from 1848. An unusual little edition that was avidly read during the Huguenot wars in France. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! SMALL BOX 3 Language: eng. Hardcover. Good.
