Beschrijving

22.5 x 14 cm. Original cloth bindings. lllustrated in b/w. – Volume I third edition – II second edition – III + IV first edition. – William Hickey (1749-1830) was an English lawyer, but is best known for his vast Memoirs, composed in 1808?10 and published between 1913 and 1925, which in their manuscript form cover seven hundred and forty closely written pages. Described by Peter Quennell as ‘One of the most remarkable books of its kind ever published in the English Language’, Hickey’s Memoirs give an extraordinarily vivid picture of life in late 18th-century London, Calcutta, Madras and Jamaica which stands comparison with the best of his near contemporary James Boswell. [Wikipedia]. – Bindings a bit worn; name and bookplate and occasional foxing – a good set
