Folio 37 x 23 cm. bestossen berieben Bezug mit Fehlstellen Erster Titel und letztes Blatt eingerissen Titel mit Ausrissen ohne Textverlust innen nur wenig gebräunt resp. braunfleckig. Maximilian von Béthune Herzog von Sully Baron dann Marquis von Rosny geb. 13. Dezember 1560 in Rosny bei Mantes-la-Jolie Yvelines; gest. 21. Dezember 1641 in Villebon Eure-et-Loir 20 km westlich von Chartres war ein hochrangiger französischer Artillerieoffizier Großmeister der Artillerie von Frankreich Minister Staatsmann Marschall von Frankreich und Freund Heinrichs IV. Sein vollständiger Name und Titel lautete: Maximilien Ier de Béthune Duc de Sully Baron de Rosny Pair de France Prince Souverain d'Henrichemont et de Boisbelle Marquis de Nogent-le-Rotrou Comte de Muret et de Villebon Vicomte de Meaux. Sully wurde in der reformierten Kirche erzogen und zugleich mit Heinrich von Navarra unterrichtet. Er nahm mit Auszeichnung an den Feldzügen des jungen Königs von Navarra teil und kämpfte bei Coutras 1587 und bei Ivry 1590 mit. Ein strenger Calvinist stolz und schroff trat er auch seinem königlichen Freund besonders seiner Verschwendung und Ausschweifung wiederholt mit Energie entgegen; doch vereinte beide bald wieder die gemeinsame Liebe zum Vaterland. Deswegen riet er auch 1593 Heinrich zur Annahme des Katholizismus um den Bürgerkrieg zu beendigen. 1597 an die Spitze der Finanzen gestellt Conseiller aux Finances tilgte er eine Staatsschuld von 200 Millionen Livres erwarb den größten Teil der verschleuderten Domänen zurück hob eine Menge überflüssiger Ämter auf ordnete und vereinfachte das Steuerwesen baute Straßen führte die Seidenkultur und andere Erwerbszweige ein und begünstigte den Ackerbau; diesen und die Weidewirtschaft mfrz. pastourage frz. pâtourage erklärte er wiederholt als die Brüste von denen Frankreich ernährt werde «Labourage et pasturage sont les deux mamelles dont la France est alimentée». Seit 1599 auch als erster Großmeister der Artillerie von Frankreich und Oberaufseher über alle Befestigungen des Landes stellte er in kurzem die öffentliche Ruhe wieder her namentlich durch Vernichtung vieler Räuberbanden. Auf Heinrichs Zug nach Savoyen 1600 eroberte Sully die für unüberwindlich gehaltenen Festungen Montmelian und Bourg. Nach dem Frieden übernahm er unter dem Titel eines erblichen Kapitäns der Häfen Flüsse und Kanäle das Département der öffentlichen Bauten hob Zölle auf erklärte den Getreidehandel für frei legte Kanäle an und leistete in dieser Stellung viel für die Verbesserung der Kommunikationsmittel des Landes. Zugleich leitete er auch die auswärtigen Verhandlungen. 1604 wurde er zum Gouverneur von Poitou und 1606 für sein Schloss Sully an der Loire nebst den dazugehörigen Ländereien zum erblichen Herzog ernannt. Dabei erwarb er für sich selbst ein bedeutendes Vermögen. Nach der Ermordung Heinrichs IV. 14. Mai 1610 wurde er seiner Stellung am Hof entbunden und von diesem auf sein Schloss verwiesen; doch bediente sich auch Ludwig XIII. öfters seines Rats und ernannte ihn 1634 zum Marschall von Frankreich. Sein gleichnamiger Sohn übernahm das Amt des Großmeister der Artillerie von Frankreich starb aber bereits 1634 mit 46 Jahren. Maximilien de Béthune Herzog von Sully starb am 21. Dezember 1641 im Alter von 81 Jahren. Maximilien de Rosny eine durch den Herzog von Sully inspirierte literarische Figur verkörpert den beinahe idealen Politiker in Heinrich Manns Roman Die Vollendung des Königs Henri Quatre. wikipedia.

1757ref. ST14844London: A. Millar; J. Dodsley; and W. Shropshire 1757. Second Edition. 222 x 140 mm. 8 3/4 x 5 1/2. Five volumes. Contemporary gray paper boards backed in sheep with unusual wavy edges raised bands black morocco labels with gilt titling. Front pastedowns with armorial bookplate of Francis Eyre of Warkworth Northamptonshire. Corners slightly bumped and edges a little tattered one spine with minor loss to leather in one compartment boards a bit rubbed but overall the contemporary bindings very sound and in excellent condition; the occasional small blemish a few marginal open tears one closed tear minimally affecting text but internally very well preserved in general. This is the first English translation of the memoirs of French statesman Maximilien de Béthune Duke of Sully undertaken either by Samuel Johnson or by best-selling female novelist Charlotte Lennox and offered here in the original unsophisticated and unusual bindings. A Huguenot of noble family Sully 1560-1641 was presented to the Protestant King Henri of Navarre when he was 11 years old and became permanently attached to that monarch until the king's assassination in 1610. Sully although a lifelong Protestant himself encouraged Henri to convert to Catholicism in order to become King Henri IV of France arranged for the marriage of Henri to Marie de Medici and served as a lifelong advisor and confidante to the king. His insider's views of this crucial period of French history make his "Memoirs" of continuing interest to scholars. Originally published in French in 1638 the first edition in English appeared well over 100 years later in 1756 a year before our second edition. The ESTC notes that the translator may have been Samuel Johnson but the book itself as well as later editions credits Charlotte Lennox ca. 1729-1804 author of popular women's adventure novels including "The Female Quixote." She was born in the American colonies but spent her working life in England where literary friends and supporters included the aforementioned Johnson. The bindings here are not extraordinarily attractive but they are interesting as specimens of an unusual slightly rustic design: the wavy edges where the leather and paper meet are clearly purposeful and add a playful element not usually seen in modest bindings such as these.
