(CROMWELL, Thomas Kitson).

THIRTY-FOUR PORTRAITS OF EMINENT & ILLUSTRIOUS CHARACTERS WITH BIOGRAPHICAL NOTICES.

London. Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme & Brown. 1820. 34 plates wth text interleaved. 12mo. Full morocco with gilt decoration. Head & tail of spine slightly rubbed. All edges gilt. A pretty little book. All the Characters have a connection with either Norfolk, Suffolk or Essex. They include Nelson, Robert Walpole, Thomas Gainsborough, Sarah Trimmer, Cardinal Wolsey, The Duchess of Newcastle, & Humphrey Repton. This would appear to be a shortened version of a work - The Lives of Eminent & Remarkable Characters born or long resident in Essex, Suffolk & Norfolk published the same year, but with 68 portraits.
