A very few old repairs at page edges, none affecting text or image, most noticeable to vol. IV p. 167. Minor scattered foxing. All vols have circular armorial bookplate of John Scott, first earl of Eldon, and his signature ('Eldon') to title page. Lord Eldon was 'not only a prominent political figure for over forty years but also the greatest lawyer of his time' (ODNB). The son of a Newcastle coal merchant, Scott was educated in expectation of a career as a country parson ('in preparation for which career he developed a taste for port which never left him'; ODNB), but as a young man he eloped with Elizabeth Surtees, the daughter of a wealthy Newcastle banker. This placed considerable difficulties in the way of a career in the church, and Scott turned instead to law, where his 'extraordinary industry thus equipped him for a legal career of great future distinction' (ODNB). He made his reputation overnight with a successful appeal on a chancery case, and was returned MP for a pocket borough in 1783. Scott became one of the foremost supporters of Pitt's administration and earned the friendship of George III, remaining loyal to the king throughout the latter's bouts of mental illness. In 1801 he was appointed Lord High Chancellor, a position that he was to hold more or less continuously, under different administrations, until his retirement in 1827. In 1806 he purchased the Dorset country house of Encombe, lying in a secluded valley on the island of Purbeck: doubtless the prompt for his purchase of Hutchins' monumental History. Encombe remained in the Scott family until early this century; Eldon's copy of Hutchins was placed on the market in a 2012 Christie's sale (loose catalogue entries in vol. I; lot 281). John Hutchins (1698-1773), county historian. A country clergyman, in 1736 Hutchins was persuaded by the antiquary Browne Willis, himself also a Dorset man, to undertake a complete history of the country. The work was to take the rest of Hutchins' life; unfinished at his death, it was made ready for the press by Richard Gough and William Cuming, and was finally published in a two-volume edition in 1774. The book was well received, and a second edition, also edited by Gough and Cuming, was published in four volumes between 1796 and 1815, with additional material and many more illustrations. The complete second edition is now very rare, as a fire in the printing house of John Nichols in 1808 destroyed all unsold copies and all except one copy of the third volume: the third volume was finally successfully published in 1813. 'Hutchins's History of Dorset became and has remained an indispensable reference book and the essential starting point for any historical study of D.
