Sobre este artículo
Amsterdam: Louis de Lorme 1695 First French edition, published the same year as the English original edition. Contemporary calf, gilt spine with reddish-brown morocco label. . Octavo, in fours. Frontisportrait and twenty-four plates of English kings Front joint beginning to crack near head of spine. A very good copy. Sir William Temple (1628-99) served as envoy to Brussels in 1666, and effected the triple alliance among England, Holland, and Sweden in order to protect Spain from France. He was also instrumental in bringing about the marriage of William of Orange to Mary. He composed his history of England, which concludes with William the Conqueror, to encourage the production of a general history of England. Though it abounds in historical errors, the prose style is characteristically felicitous. Samuel Johnson spoke of Temple as the first writer to give cadence to the English language.

Sobre Michael R. Thompson, Booksellers, ABAA/ILAB
Our office is located in Los Angeles on West Third Street, between the Beverly Center and Farmer's Market. Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, women's studies, education, history of science and fine printing and artists' books. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietor: Carol Sandberg
