réf. 46404937Sarah Churchill née Jennings (1660 - 1744), épouse de John Churchill premier duc de Marlborough (1650 - 1722), fut une des personnalités les plus influentes de son temps. Elle fut longtemps la favorite de la reine Anne, puis après une période de disgrâce, retrouva un rôle politique majeur sous le roi George, l’ami et ancien compagnon d’armes de son mari. Le palais de Blenheim fut offert au duc de Marlborough en remerciement de ses victoires lors des guerres de succession d’Espagne, en particulier lors de la bataille de Blenheim en 1704. La construction du château, commencée en 1705, connut quelques retards, les fonds publics ayant été retirés durant la disgrâce des Marlborough. Les travaux engloutirent une part importante de la fortune considérable de la famille. L’essentiel des bâtiments était achevés à la mort du duc en 1722 mais les travaux se poursuivirent jusqu’en 1732. Lettre fort intéressante, écrite à un proche, suite au décès subit de son petit-fils, William Godolphin (1700 - 1731) marquis de Blandford, mort l’avant-veille d’une crise d’aploplexie probablement provoquée par un abus de boisson. Elle demande de l’aide pour organiser les funérailles, elle souhaite une inhumation intime et sans grandes pompes, dans la chapelle du palais de Blenheim alors en cours d’achèvement. Pour y parvenir elle doit faire venir d’urgence l’évêque d’Oxford afin de consacrer la chapelle. La duchesse de Marlborough est elle-même inhumée dans cette chapelle aux côtés de son mari ainsi que de nombreux membres de cette famille. Elle fait part de son souhait de faire venir M. John Evelyn, évoque la difficile situation de la veuve, la maladie du maître d’hôtel et enjoint son correspondant donner toutes les instructions nécessaires auprès du collège. Ce dernier détail pourrait permettre d’identifier son correspondant.“Blenheim, August 26th 1731Sir,You will easily believe how sorry I am for the occasion I have of troubling you upon so melancholy a subject ; as the unfortunate death of my grand-son [William Godolphin (1700 - 1731)]. Before I left Oxford, my Lord Godolphin was acquainted with it ; and he is in so much affliction, that he has left the direction of what is to be done to me, saying no more than that he thinks it is most proper and natural for the body of my Lord Blandford to be buoy'd privately in Blenheim chappel. And in order to have it so, I will write to the Bishop of Oxford to consecrate it as soon as he can. What my Lord Godolphin has said is very suitable to my own inclinations, having directed in my own will not to have that pageantry of feathers or so much as escutcheons, when I am laid in the same place.I have wit to desire that Sr John Evelyn would come to Oxford. [...] Lord Blandford's chief servant Mr Sparrow is sick and I worry much [...] but I hope from all the goodness which you have shown to me, that you will give yourself the trouble to go to the college and give all the directions that you think reasonable. Which, I am sure, will be an obligation laid upon my Lord Godolphin as well as, Sr.Whenever it is easy to you I should be glad to see you. Your most faithful and most humble servant.S. Marlborough”

1932375 pages. Index. "When I began my study I looked upon Woodrow Wilson as the villain of the ensuing drama. As I proceeded to delve into the debris of reminiscences and unwritten history, he gradually assumed some aspects of a martyr and a saint. There was a time when there was no one in the world whom I distrusted more than Edward Mandell House. Today he seems to me a genuine philosopher and a gifted statesman. Even if his good intentions, like Wilson's, have helped to pave mankind's way to hell, they gave us a glimpse of the Promised Land where peace abides and a new sanction governs the fate of nations." - xiv. It is commonly believed that Colonel House was in fact a Rothschild agent, assigned the task of seeing the Federal Reserve Act brought into law, thus privatizing the issuance of American money (again). If so, this book is of major importance to every American. Gift greetings, dated 1932, upon front free endpaper else unmarked. Binding intact.

FIRST EDITION OF THIS IMPORTANT BIOGRAPHY OF EDWARD III WITH FINELY ENGRAVED PLATES. Edward III 1312–1377 was King of England from January 1327 until his death in 1377. He is noted for his military success and for restoring royal authority after the disastrous and unorthodox reign of his father Edward II. Edward III transformed the Kingdom of England into one of the most formidable military powers in Europe. His fifty-year reign is one of the longest in English history and saw vital developments in legislation and government in particular the evolution of the English Parliament as well as the ravages of the Black Death. He outlived his eldest son Edward the Black Prince and was succeeded by his grandson Richard II. Edward was crowned at age fourteen after his father was deposed. After a successful campaign in Scotland he declared himself rightful heir to the French throne starting the Hundred Years' War 1337–1453. Following some initial setbacks this first phase of the war went exceptionally well for England and would become known as the Edwardian War. Victories at Crécy and Poitiers led to the highly favourable Treaty of Brétigny 1360 in which England made territorial gains and Edward renounced his claim to the French throne. Edward was temperamental and thought himself capable of feats such as healing by the royal touch as some prior English kings did. He was also capable of unusual clemency. He was in many ways a conventional medieval king whose main interest was warfare but he also had a broad range of non-military interests. Admired in his own time and for centuries after. modern historians credit him with significant achievements. Complete copies of this great work on Edward are rare. Most lack all or some of the engraved plates or are rebound. Printed by John Hayes for the Author hardcover

2 ouvrages reliés en un volume in-8 (201 x 128 mm), plein veau blond de l'époque, dos à nerfs guillochés or, orné de compartiments fleuronnés et cloisonnés, filet doré en encadrement des plats et grandes armes dorées au centre, filets sur les coupes, tranches rouges. 1- Édition publiée un an après la première des 'Lettres philosophiques', seconde sous le titre de 'Lettres écrites de Londres'. Vignette de titre de G. F. L. Debrie, gravée par Cl. Duflos. "Edition d'autant plus intéressante qu'elle reproduit l'original français tel que Voltaire l'envoya à Thieriot pour être traduit et imprimé en anglais" (Bengesco, II, p. 15). En 1726, Voltaire s'exila en Angleterre après un séjour à la Bastille. Après son retour en France, il publia cet essai sur la tolérance religieuse et la liberté du commerce. Ce livre qui fit scandale fut condamné et Voltaire dut s'exiler de nouveau. L'ouvrage eut un retentissement considérable à travers l’Europe. Rousseau en dit qu’il "éveilla son esprit" et Lafayette affirma qu'il fit de lui un républicain à l’âge de neuf ans. (Bengesco, n°1558, p. 19, note 2. Voltaire à la BN, n°3680). 2 – Première édition officielle publiée en Hollande, la même année que la première (Rouen, 1733), donnée comme "édition véritable" et comportant le nom de Voltaire au titre. Vignette de titre de G. F. L. Debrie, gravée par Cl. Duflos. Le texte est précédé d'une "lettre à Mr. de C… [Cideville]" qui fait office de préface et est suivi de l'approbation de Crébillon datée du 21 avril 1733. Bengesco commente cette édition à partir de la correspondance de Voltaire: "Voltaire, menacé d'une lettre de cachet pour avoir fait imprimer son poème sans permission, dut 'rebâtir un second Temple' (…). Il 'embellit le tout par de nouveaux vers' et joignit à son poème de nouvelles notes 'plus instructives que les premières'". (Bengesco, I, n° 602, p.162. Voltaire à la BN, n°2421). Trois petites taches claires et légères traces de restauration à la reliure. Provenance: Marie-Sophie Colbert de Seignelay, Duchesse de Montmorency-Luxembourg (1711-1747) avec ses armes dorées au centre des plats. Très bel exemplaire, très bien relié à l'époque, parfaitement conservé, grand de marges, imprimé sur beau papier vergé de Hollande.
