A propos de cet article

This two-volume English edition of Memoirs of the Baron de Tott on the Turks and the Tartars, published in London in 1786, offers a fascinating window into the Ottoman Empire and its borderlands as observed by a European military officer and diplomat. Baron de Tott's accounts, drawn from his time in Constantinople and Crimea in the mid-18th century, blend detailed military and political insight with personal observation. This edition also includes Strictures and Remarks by M. de Peyssonnel, a contemporary critic, providing a valuable counterpoint to de Tott’s narrative. Though lacking a main title page, the set includes the second edition preface and material clearly dated to 1786, allowing it to be confidently identified as the second English edition. Memoirs of the Baron de Tott on the Turks and The Tartars, Translated from the French, by an English Gentleman at Paris, under the immediate Inspection of the Baron. Includes Strictures and Remarks on the Memoirs of Baron de Tott, By M. de Peyssonnel, In a Letter to the Marquis de N. Published by G.G.J. and J. Robinson, London, 1886. This set is lacking a title page, but we can summise that this is the second edition, as the Preface to the Second edition is included in Volume 2 and the inclusion of 'Strictures and Remarks' in Volume 1 is clearly dated to 1786 - the year after the 1785 first English edition. The publisher's information is also obtained from the title page of 'Strictures and Remarks'. A good set of 2 full leather hardback volumes. Leather with some bumping and scuffing. Joints rubbed, but all holding - cracked to front of volume 1, but all still bound. Spine of Vol. 2 also cracked down the centre, but all still holding. With red morocco title labels with gilt and small private library label near tail of spine. Text is clean and bright throughout, and the volumes are very readable indeed. Occasional minor flaw or light scattered usage mark, but attractively presented. Vol 1: Part the First; 1-238pp + Part The Second; 1-236pp + Strictures and Remarks 1-127pp (including title);  Vol 2: Advertisement prefixed to the First edition, (iii-iv) + The Preface to the Second edition, v-xiv + Part The Third, 1-200pp + Part The Fourth, 1-160pp. Slightly unconventional bound pagination - The advertisement and preface would normally have been at the beginning of Vol. 1, and Strictures at the end of Vol 2. Text in English. Dimensions: Each volume approx 205mm high x 135mm wide x 31-45mm deep. Weight: approximately 1.15kg (the set - unpacked). More photos on request.…
