(iv) 376 pp. Variant copy with advertisement at rear rather than before the title. First published in 1722 as ’The journal of the plague year.’ - The journal of the plague at Marseilles is translated from ’Journal abregé de ce qui s’est passé en la ville de Marseille, depuis qu’elle est affligée de la contagion tiré du memorial de la Chambre du Conseil de l’Hôtel de ville, Moore 449, ESTC T70343 . With a label from Bernard Edward, Duke of Norfolk on the last end paper with hand written story of how the plague was raging in London. According to Catholic Encyclopedia Bernard Edward was "Eldest son of Henry Howard of Glosson, and Juliana, daughter of Sir William Molyneux of Willow, Nottinghamshire. In 1789 he married Elizabeth Bellasis, daughter of Henry, Earl of Fauconberg, but was divorced, by Act of Parliament, in 1794. On the death of his third cousin, in 1815, he succeeded to the dukedom. Although a Catholic, he was allowed, by Act of Parliament in 1824, to exercise the hereditary office of earl-marshal. After the Rebel Bill of 1829 he was admitted to the full exercise of his ancestral privileges; he took his seat in the House of Lords, where he was a steady supporter of the Reform Bill, and in 1830 was nominated as privy councillor." In full original leather, boards detached, 5 raised bands to the spine, leather rubbed and worn. Paper throughout is a bit browned, occasional contemporary neat marginalia concerning the topic (from the Duke?) but clean and unmarked, book block solid. Last blank has pencil chronology of the plague in a more modern hand, first blank has older owner's inscript and another plague description from the book -- blank is loose and chipped along edges. An interesting copy.
