Condition: Very Good
Description: Memoirs of a young man: Lord Herbert tells of his adventures as a youth before wisdom and responsibility stayed his hand.

A deist, he wrote of various aspects of religion, spirituality and the Church. He served as an ambassador to France, where he was quite popular among other political officers. This is a very nice leather binding with a gilt decorated band around the edge of both boards, a flat banded spine with gilt separations and lettering. One wonderful frontispiece portrait of the Lord Herbert reclining in a glade looking challenging directly at the viewer. Please do not hesitate to email with questions or for more pictures.

Some discoloration of the back paper facing the board (see Photo). Chip at top of spine with small section loose, scuff at spine and small evidence of splitting.
