Octavo early three-quarter green morocco gilt raised bands top edges gilt uncut. $3500.Early mixed edition of GroteÕs celebrated history of Greece illustrated with a large folding map of Greece and 25 engraved maps and plans 16 folding handsomely bound by Morrell.A banker member of Parliament staunch social reformer and one of the founders of the University of London Grote was among the first to attempt to write a comprehensive work on Greece's political and intellectual heritage. His History extends from the mythical beginnings of Greek culture and legend to the reign of Alexander the Great. ""The work of a masterÉ The political lessons and ethical judgments so characteristic of the History render it the most instructive of histories"" DNB. Grote ""incontestably won for himself the title not merely of a historian but of the historian of Greece"" Allibone I:747. Grote's History ""is notable for its accurate geographical details for the spirit and vigor of its passages descriptive of martial exploits and above all for its obvious purpose of showing the elevating and inspiring influence of freedom upon human activityÉ Each chapter is in a way a monograph in itself and the work as a whole is one of the greatest masterpieces of historical research that have ever been put forth"" Peck 753.

réf. 123193Greece 1853-56. . Oblong 8vo 15.2 x 24 cm; 20 pen and wash grey and bistre drawings heightened with white c. 115 x 150 mm with descriptive ms captions in Greek leaves slightly toned occasional spotting to margins but generally clean and fresh; contemporary brown half sheep over black pebble-grained boards cover title 'Antiquites Grecques' in gilt gilt dulled a little worn and rubbed with some loss to spine joints cracked but holding still a lovely example. A very unusual sketchbook most likely compiled by a French draughstman as an architectural study of the Greek monuments they saw on their travels. The ruins are shown in their monumentality and decay in splendid isolation typical for the period before the sites were excavated. Judging from the condition of the monuments we can confidently date the drawings to between 1853 and 1856. The sketchbook itself was likely purchased in Greece with the drawings applied directly to the pages i.e. not bound later and then on the artist's return to France the binding was stamped with the title 'ANTIQUITÉS GRECQUES'. Sketchbooks of Greek sites are much rarer than comparable ones of Italy partly to do with the Grand Tour or tourist trails stretching as a matter of course to Italy but much rarer to Greece owing to the dangers and challenges of Mediterranean travel and an apprehension amongst travellers in the decades following the Ottoman occupation.
