Alexander William Kinglake

The Invasion of the Crimea: Its Origin, and an Account of Its Progress Down to the Death of Lord Raglan

Edinburgh , William Blackwood, 1863-75. Leather. A history of the Crimean War from Alexander William Kinglake. Third edition. Illustrated with twelve coloured folding maps and thirty-four other plates, many of which are folding (collated, one missing from the fifth volume). Alexander William Kinglake (5 August 1809 – 2 January 1891) was an English travel writer and historian. Kinglake's magnum opus was his Invasion of the Crimea, in 8 volumes, published from 1863 to 1887 by Blackwood, Edinburgh, one of the most effective works of its class. It has been accused of being too favourable to Lord Raglan, and unduly hostile to Napoleon III, for whom the author had an extreme aversion. Five volumes of eight only.

Ink signatures to front free-endpaper, and ink signature to title page of volume V. Pages are bright, and mainly clean, though with some instances of foxing. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .

The Maybrick Case a Treatise

London, Balliere Tindall and Cox, 1891. First edition. Cloth. A first edition of this work on this famous London murder, which has since been tied into the unsolved Jack the Ripper case. Illustrated with a frontispiece and three plates.A detailed study of this murder case, whereby Florence Maybrick was convicted of murdering her cotton merchant husband James Maybrick by poisoning him. The trial was sensational, and the illustrations to this work replicate chemists labels and letters shown during proceedings. More than a century after his death Maybrick was accused of being Jack the Ripper following the revelation of a diary whereby he confessed. Subsequently this was found to be a hoax. However, one researcher Bruce Robinson believes that Michael Maybrick was the true killer. This copy is ex-library, with a bookplate to the front pastedown of Hammersmith Public Libraries. The first edition of this work on the murder trial of James Maybrick. An uncommon work. In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, generally smart. Bumping to the head and tail of spine. Split to the cloth at the front joint with the hinge tender.
