Description: 3 volumes in 6. 8vo, 192 x 128 mms., pp. [iv], 288, [2], 289 - 720; [x], 466, [2], 467 - 753 [754 blank]; [xvi], 364 [2], 365 - 773 [774 blank, 775 - 849 Index, 850 - 852 blank], engraved portrait in each volume, contemporary panelled calf, paper labels; joints a bit worn, but firm, and generally a good to very good set, with the ownership inscription of A. Burnaby, St. John's College, Cambridge, 1722 in each volume and his autograph on each title-page, and the bookplate of Barbara de Selincourt (whose portrait as a young girl was memorably painted by Herbert James Draper) on the front paste-down end-paper of each volume. Andrew Burnaby (1702 - 1776), who apparently acquired this set in 1722 when he was a student at St. John's College, named his son, the church of England clergyman and traveller, Andrew Burnaby (1732 - 1812) as well. "Clarendon remained in the mind because of his literary achievementthe fashioning of the most sophisticated and finely balanced history yet written in English (or written for a long time afterwards)and for an unmistakable rhetorical voice. Clarendon's writingsand his own lifewere steeped in the literary stoicism of the early seventeenth century; but in the History he created a distinctive work of art based on a highly wrought style, a forensic dissection of character and issue, and a sense of the depth of individuals' moral responsibility for their actions." (Oxford DNB). Edward Hyde, first earl of Clarendon (16091674), began work on his history while he was in exile in Jersey, and it was first published in 1702.

Description: A mixed edition collection in their original bindings, of the most influential contemporary history of the Civil War, 'The History Of The Rebellion and Civil Wars In England' by Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon. Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon was a notable English historian and statesman, and grandfather of two English monarchs, Mary II and Queen Anne. He is best known for this work, his 'History of the Rebellion' first published between the years 17021704, but written between the years 1646 and 1648 (recording events up until March 1644). This text is often considered as being the first full-scale, detailed history of the Civil War, and is also important due to the role Clarendon himself played in the events detailed in the work. Moreover, Clarendon's involvement in the action invariably influenced his account, with the work being written from a royalist perspective, hence advancing Clarendon's own viewpoint and politics. Indeed, the work was even involved in the publishing war between supporters of the rival Roundheads and Cavaliers. Complete in three volumes, bound in six. Featuring a portrait frontispiece of Edward, Earl of Clarendon to each volume. A mixed edition set with: Volume I, Part 1 published in 1705 Volume I, Part 2 published in 1705 Volume II, Part 1 published in 1712 Volume II, Part 2 published in 1706 Volume III, Part 1 published in 1706 Volume III, Part 2 published in 1706 Volumes I, Part 1 and 2, Volume II part 2, and volume III part 1 and 2 are first octavo editions, with volume II part 1 being a later edition, Featuring a bookplate of a 'Richard Lister Venables' to the front pastedown of all volumes, except volume III part 2, which features a bookplate of a 'Charles Cornewall'.
