Memoirs of Count Grammont. Edited, with Notes, by Sir Walter Scott. A New Edition, with sixty-four portraits engraved by Edward Scriven. [Translated by H. Walpole]. IN PUBLISHER'S ORIGINAL BINDING

8vo., with a copper-engraved portrait frontispiece (original tissue guard present) and 63 fine copper-engraved portraits by Scriven; original brown cloth, upper board ruled and blocked in black, gilt back, uncut, very neatly recased with terracotta endpapers, a very good, bright, clean copy. With 16pp publisher's catalogue (dated 1881) bound in at end. Published in Bickers' series 'English Gentleman's Library', this is arguably the best illustrated edition of this famous memoir of the Court of Charles II. The fine portraits by Scrivens are engraved after Cooper, Lely, Mignard, Parmentier, Rigaud, Vandyck and others. Scarce in this condition.
