Seller's Description:
Good in good dust jacket. Price clipped. DJ has some wear, soiling, edge tears, chips and small holes. Ink mark and small scuff/loss of material on fep. xii, 436 p. Abbreviations. Endpaper map. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Thorny, high-principled, and utterly uncompromising, Sir John Hawkins had a personality to inspire respect from his contemporaries but scarcely one to win their affection. Hawkins served for a long period as chairman of the Middlesex Quarter Sessions, a position for which he was chosen, and later knighted, because of his training in law. In this office he heard and passed judgment on a wide variety of cases and established himself as a magistrate of uncompromisiong integrity. However, the works for which Hawkins will be remembered are three: an edition of Walton's Compleat Angler which rescued the book from obscurity; a History of Music, a monumental five-volume work and the first of its type, and his Life of Johnson, which provides and indespensible and authoritative record of one of England's greatest men.
