Critics lauded it not only for its frank handling of sex but also for its exposé of imperialism First edition otherwise untraced in recent commerce of the first American novel on Indochina.

Original endpapers and half-title present. Illustrated with numerous hand-colored plates by Robert Seymour. "Thomas Herveys THE BOOK OF CHRISTMAS is remembered today for the wonderful illustrations by Robert Seymour 1798-1836 one of the most successful caricaturists of his time. Herveys text gives an exhaustive historical account of old English Christmas customs: some -- like the feasting on roast beef and turkey plum pudding and mince pies -- still flourishing; others -- like waits carol singing at night and mumming -- almost forgotten. Seymours illustrations completed just a few months before his suicide as he was working on Dickenss PICKWICK PAPERS capture the spirit and joy of the season. From the coach load of Norfolk turkeys to the sleepy waits singers in the light of the street lantern to the merry old gentleman enjoying Christmas by his fire he provides a delightful selection of holiday scenes. THE BOOK OF CHRISTMAS first published in 1836 and reprinted the following year was an early attempt to record and preserve the old customs. As the Victorian revival of the holiday gathered pace during the 1840s many more histories of Christmas festivities and practices were published. They were often bound and illustrated as attractive gift books and so helped to establish a new tradition of the Christmas publishing season BRITISH LIBRARY. William Spooner hardcover

When she determined to marry the Duke of Kingston Elizabeth feared the scandal of divorce from her first husband Augustus Hervey later Earl of Bristol who wanted a divorce so she instituted a suit of jactitation against him. His negative response ignored she took an oath that she was unmarried and the court so declared her. She married the Duke of Kingston in 1769 and he died in 1770 and left her a substantial estate on the condition that she remain a widow. The duke's nephew Mr. Evelyn Meadow brought suit against her for bigamy shortly after the duke's death while she was traveling in Italy. She returned to England to stand trial. Found guilty she would have been "burned on the hand" but she claimed the privilege of her peerage which served to exempt her from corporal punishment. She continued a life of travel and adventure until her sudden death in Paris in 1788. Famous because of this trial Kingston was often depicted directly or indirectly in popular and serious literature. She is believed to have been the inspiration William Makepeace Thackeray's character of Beatrix Esmond Baroness Bernstein in The History of Henry Esmond and The Virginians.

réf. 205332London Edward Bull 1829. xii22862pp. Small 8vo. Finden engraved title-page. Original boards worn at edges with early cloth backstrip and new 19th century endpapers. A trim and agreeable copy. Hervey's epic poem "Australia" occupies pp.171 to 251 of this collection. It has largely been ignored by commentators and bibliographers eg. Miller Miller & Macartney and OCAL in spite of its considerable importance in the formation of the way in which Australians and the British came to interpret the emergence of a new nation. It is a high-flown vision of an empty continent morally degraded waiting for the ennobling hand of British settlement. It echoes and reinforces the ideas in Wentworth's "Australasia".
