Burnet, Gilbert
The Memoirs of the Lives and Actions of James and William Dukes of Hamilton
<p><em><strong>Burnet Gilbert. 1643-1715 The Memoirs of the Lives and Actions of James and William Dukes of Hamilton and Castleherald & c. In which an Account is given of the Rise and Progress of the Civil Wars of Scotland with other Great Transactions both in England and Germany from the Year 1625 to the Year 1652. Together with many Letters Instructions and other Papers Written by King Charles the I. Never before published all drawn out of or Copied from the Originals. London Printed by J. Grover for R. Royston Bookseller to the Kings Most Excellent Majesty 1677. Folio 12 x 7.5 in. First edition. 3 a6 B-Zz Aa-Zz4 Aaa-Lll4.</strong> <strong>Contains both portraits where other volumes are lacking. Also contains portrait of King Charles I praying and with much symbolism surrounding him of his divine rights. "Burnet's</strong></em> vacations were spent chiefly in Hamilton where the duchess engaged him in putting in order all the papers relating to her father's and uncle's political careers. Lauderdale who had his own reasons for anxiety as to the light which might be cast upon transactions in which he had himself been engaged no sooner heard of this than he sent for Burnet to come to court that he might give him all the informa¬tion in his power. The 'Memoirs of the Dukes of Hamilton' Burnet's first historical work was published in 1676 actually 1677. His investigations led in a curious way to a reconciliation between Hamilton and the court. Among the papers which he ex¬amined were found undoubted claims of the family upon the crown for satisfaction of which Hamilton consented to concur in the court measures. This was 1671". DNB In Burnet's Preface to "Memoirs" he states one of the reasons for undertak¬ing this work saying "And particularly I wondered to find James Duke of Hamilton represented to the World with such foul and base Characters as if he had been a Monster both for Ingratitude and Treachery though he had laid down his Life for the King and involved his Estate in vast Debts for His Service. It seemed to me the great¬est Injustice in the world that one who served his Prince and his Country so long and so faithfully and sealed all with his blood should not only be deprived of the Honour due to his Memory but that a company of ignorant and impudent Slanders should do what they could to attaint his Blood and Family by the black Imputations they have cast on him and that this should pass current without any Vindications."

Handsome first edition with choice autograph addition: Tipped to front flyleaf is an outstanding-content Typed Letter Signed from Burns 1p 8½" X 11" Williamstown MA 17 March 1982. Addressed to noted Lincoln scholar Arnold F. Gates 1914-93. Near fine. Faint original folds. On "Williams College" letterhead Burns writes provocatively on Lincoln's leadership in part: "You raise such a basic question about Lincoln that I cannot do justice to it in a letter. Actually I am still trying to sort out my own views of Lincoln especially since I deal with him at the start of the second volume of 'The American Experiment.' On the one hand I am impressed by his superb political operationalism and by his ability to couch the reasons for his actions in such noble words. On the other hand I am not sure what grade to give to a man who essentially as I see it operated brilliantly amid multiple political and moral pressures but did not it seemed to me for a long time raise the whole struggle to the moral dimension that was required by the price paid in the Civil War. I any event I will pursue my wonderings and reflections on all this and am properly influenced by your own remarks." He continues "Perhaps I could put my own view more succinctly by saying that I believe that along with the kind of brilliant transactional leadership that Lincoln represented there is a place for transforming leadership a distinction I tried to develop in a book I wrote a few years ago on leadership." Boldly signed in full in black ink. Simon and Schuster hardcover
