BAINES, EDWARD

History of the Wars of the French Revolution: Two Volumes Bound in One from the Breaking out of the War in 1792 to the Restoration of a General Peace in 1915. . .

London, England: Harper Collins, 1818. Reprint; 1st Printing. Hardcover. Two Volumes Bound in One. Very Good- condition. Full leather binding. The leather is, however, noticeably weathered and worn. Both covers are detatched. The book itself is in very clean, solid condition and at some point in its history, the separate books have been combined and bound into one large volume. A previous owner has made a few repairs to the book, including reattaching the front endpaper and free page. (which have, since then, become unmoored again, partially) The text pages are generally clean and bright. There are several large splotches of either ink or foxing (dark) to several pages. Several plates are missing, including: Volume I facing page 377 (Alexander I) , Volume II: facing 130-131 (Coins and Medals) , facing page 463 (Battle of Waterloo - the key is still present) , and facing 499 (Princess Charlotte & Prince Leopold) A solid, but flawed copy. "As well as his journalistic output, Baines was the author of a number of histories and gazetteers. His first book - a History of the Wars of the French Revolution - was published in 1817, having first been published as a part-work from 1814 onwards. Its account up to 1801 borrowed extensively (and sometimes verbatim) from another author's earlier work of 1803 on the same topic (A Stephens The History of the Wars Which Arose out of the French Revolution to Which is Prefixed a Review of the Causes of that Event (London 1803) ). This went unacknowledged until Baines revised, expanded and retitled the work as a History of the Reign of King George III (1820) ; his new preface stating "To facilitate ... Progress, and at the recommendation of the publisher and proprietor of Mr Alexander Stephens' s History of the Wars published in 1803, nearly half the details of the first volume were abridged from that work." This later led to denunciation of Baines as a plagiarist by one of the editors of the Intelligencer. He also produced history/directory/gazetteers for Yorkshire and for Lancashire, later reworking the latter as a county history, The History of the County Palatine of Lancaster" (from Wikipedia).

It also contains so valuable a bibliography as to render needless an extended one in this chapter." " (from Wikipedia); Signed by Author. Very Good- .

The book is in clean, bright condition. There is some beginning rubbing to the spine ends and corners. There is some beginning toning to the rear cover of the book. The text pages are clean and bright. "William Blake (28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827) was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age. What he called his prophetic works were said by 20th-century critic Northrop Frye to form "what is in proportion to its merits the least read body of poetry in the English language". His visual artistry led 21st-century critic Jonathan Jones to proclaim him "far and away the greatest artist Britain has ever produced". In 2002, Blake was placed at number 38 in the BBC's poll of the 100 Greatest Britons. While he lived in London his entire life, except for three years spent in Felpham, he produced a diverse and symbolically rich œuvre, which embraced the imagination as "the body of God" or "human existence itself".
