The Second Viscount Palmerston [1739-1802] was a member of Parliament for 40 years. His papers are assembled here in a way that can be read as an autobiography and offers insight i nto the life of privileged people in England during the 18th century, with art, fine country houses, hanging with Prinny, and political affairs. He also had two marriages for love, perhaps less typical of his class. Illustrated. Jacket very distressed. Book is solid. Andre Deutsch, London. Hb, Dj. USED. $5.00 Show more
