Nouvelle Edition revûe & corrigée. 8 vols. 12mo. " Sully 1560-1641 was an agrarian in the fullest sense of the term. He believed that cattle breeding and agriculture constituted the only true wealth of France. He therefore encouraged land clearing undertook irrigation projects and constructed roads and canals. His principal work was concerned with financial administration. He reconstructed an administration which had been dislocated by 30 yrs of civil war. He established a rigorous control. The economy realized in the reduction of the public debt and in the correction of abuses served to provide for the protection of the national frontiers and to furnish the army with an effective artillery" Encyclopdia of Social Sciences Volumes 13/14 p. 460.

1757Best.-Nr. 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.
