A SHORT HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH PEOPLE
By J. R. Green
Published by Macmillan & Co, London, 1892. Complete in Four Volumes. Fine half leather bindings. Marble endpapers. Gilt to top edges. pp cvi, 1906pp. Illustrated with coloured and b&w plates, with a large folding plate at frontispiece of vol III showing Old London Bridge.
CONDITION
Very good clean set. The leather bindings are in very good clean condition with the leather remaining in good condition with little to no rubbing, perhaps just very slightly to the corners. The marble endpapers are good. Volume I has a bookplate to the inside front board. Pages are in lovely clean condition throughout with the very odd faint spot to the odd margin. All plates present and in good clean condition. Overall a very good clean set, handsomely bound.
Green's concentration on social and industrial history gave his work great influence on his contemporaries. First published in 1874 this illustrated edition was edited by his widow Alice Stopford Green, Irish historian and Nationalist and by Kate Norgate who wrote an important study on the Angevin kings.
