Wear and tear to edges of D/J. Browning to spine and edges of D/J. Price clipped. In this book Lord Norwich, better known as Duff Cooper, tells with commendable brevity the story of his life. His childhood, his education at Eton, Oxford and abroad, his work in the Foreigh Office, his military service in the Foreign Office, his military service in the First World War, twenty years in the House of Commons - where he helf the offices of Financial Secretary to the War Office and Treasury, Secretary of State for War, First Lord of the Admiralty, Minister of Information and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, all come under review, and the book closed with the end of his last appointment, that of British Ambassador in Paris in 1947. The writer has succeeded in recounting this very full life in a manner calculated not to weary the reader with unwanted information or to leave him with the impression that anything has been concealed. Illustrated. 400 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

Original boards. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Octavo (233 x 152mm), pp. xix, [1 (blank)], 505, [3 (blanks)]. 8 colour-printed plates with illustrations recto-and-verso, and 3 full-page maps and plans after Reginald Piggott in the text. Original red boards, spine lettered and decorated in gilt, black endpapers, dustwrapper, not price-clipped. (Slight cracking on upper hinge, corners very slightly bumped, dustwrapper slightly faded on spine and with occasional, very light marking.) A very good copy. Provenance: Joan James (presentation inscription on title 'For Joan, With all best wishes, John Julius Norwich'). ¶¶¶First edition, inscribed by the author in the month of publication. Written by the diplomat and author John Julius Norwich (1929-2018) -- a self-professed 'agnostic Protestant' with 'absolutely no axe to grind' (p. xix) -- The Popes was intended to serve as 'a straightforward single-volume history of the papacy', and, while Norwich could 'claim some personal experience of the Vatican, having worked in its Library and having had two private audiences -- with Pius XII and Paul VI -- the latter when I was lucky enough to attend his coronation as dogsbody to the Duke of Norfolk, who was representing the Queen. In addition, I well remember the future John XXIII, who was Papal Nuncio in Paris while my father was ambassador there, and the future John Paul I, when he was Patriarch of Venice' (p. xvii), the book is primarily based on published sources. The introduction states that '[p]apal history can, like other varieties, be written from any number of points of view. This book is essentially political, cultural and, up to a point, social. There are moments, from time to time, when basic matters of doctrine cannot be avoided -- in order to explain the Arian Heresy, the Great Schism with the Orthodox Church, the Albigensian Crusade, the Reformation, even Infallibility and the Immaculate Conception -- but as far as possible I have tried to steer well clear of theology, on which I am in any case unqualified to pronounce. In doing so, I have followed in the footsteps of many of the popes themselves, a surprising number of whom seem to have been far more interested in their own temporal power than in their spiritual well-being' (loc. cit.). The Popes was not conceived as a scholarly account, but rather 'intended [. . .] for the average intelligent reader, believer or unbeliever, who would simply like to know a little more about the background to what is, by any account, an astonishing story. [. . .] My job has been simply to look at what is perhaps the most astonishing social, political and spiritual institution ever created, and to give as honest, as objective and as accurate an account of it as I possibly can' (pp. xviii-xix). The inscription is not dated, but this copy was inscribed for Joan James by John Julius Norwich at a launch party for the book on 23 March 2011 (shortly after the book's publication earlier in the month), which was held at the antiquarian bookseller Henry Sotheran Ltd (Norwich was a director of the business from 1999 to 2015). ¶¶¶FURTHER INFORMATION: please contact us for further information about this item and prices for shipping.

Published by Typed letter 9 January ; autograph letter 11 April 1952. Both on letterhead of Château de St. Firmin Vineuil Oise, 1952
Manuscript / Paper Collectible Signed
See his entry in the Oxford DNB. Both letters in good condition, lightly aged. Both signed 'Duff Cooper' and the first addressed to 'Thomas Earp, Esq., / Kitcombe House, / Newton Valence, / Alton, / Hants.' ONE: TLS, 9 January 1952. 1p, 12mo. He will try to get hold of a copy of 'Voyage de Shakespeare' and is glad Earp liked his 'little book on the same subject'. In an autograph postscript he writes: 'I suppose you have tried the London Library.' TWO: ALS, 11 April 1952. 2pp, 12mo. He has found 'Le Voyage de Shakespeare' but has lost Earp's address, so is writing to him care of the Daily Telegraph, 'in which I sometimes have the pleasure of reading your contributions'. The book is 'an expensive two volume edition brought out by Le Nouvelle France during the occupation. It is decorated by elaborate woodcuts which have little bearing on the text. [.] It is a curious book - well written.' If the London Library did not produce it as he suggested, he will be glad to send his copy to Earp. 'It would be better still if you would come to get it. Surely you visit Paris sometimes. When you do we should be delighted to see you here.'.
Published by On letterhead of West Molesey Surrey. 15 February, 1851
Manuscript / Paper Collectible
4pp., 12mo. Very good, on lightly-aged paper with watermarked date 1848. Addressed to 'My dear Dean'. As the letter clearly concerns Pellew's life of his father-in-law Lord Sidmouth (1847), with Croker referring to his own review of the book in the Quarterly Review, the reason for the gap between the date of publication of the book and the writing of the letter is unclear. Croker writes that he has received Pellew's 'last livraison & kind letter which gives a very just idea of the correspondence'. He feels that Pellew hits 'one point which I had already hinted at in my review of your work - that the King's letters give a higher idea of his powers of mind than was perhaps strictly speaking the fact, as he very generally recapitulated the reasons propounded by his correspondent. If the King's papers should ever become accessible this would I think be found to be very largely the case - but, as we read them, his letters tho often deficient in grammar & sometimes odd by word are creditabe both to his head & heart.' After touching on the King's 'faults of style' Croker appeals for information regarding 'Col. Pringle, 'preparatory to my laying siege to him'. In a postscript Croker writes: 'All the letters about the high Bishoprick Lord Sidmouth showed me, the obnoxious candidate Geo. Beresford was a particular friend of my own.'.
