About This Item
Paris: Calman Levy, 1882. Written in French. Re-bound a long time ago with leather spine (and inner third of boards) and marbled paper-covered boards. Only the title "Cinq-Mars" on spine. Slight wear to spine-ends and corners, gray thick paper endpapers, an old bookplate for I M Moffatt-Penders inside front board and another name (same surname) on page before title page. Possibly belonged to one Ian McAllister Moffat-Pender, who served in WW1 in the Seaforth Highlanders and the RFC, stood (unsuccessfully) as a Conservative candidate in the 1930s, and also wrote in Gaelic. Originally published in 1826, the story is based around the story of Henri Coiffier de Ruzé, Marquis de Cinq-Mars, who was executed in 1642 after leading a plot against Cardinal Richelieu. 496pp, folding facsimile letter from Richelieu after title page.. Half-Leather. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
